Castledykes - Bothwellhaugh - Balmuildy (?)

Roman Road (roman)

What is recorded here

Balmuildy, Castledykes and Bothwellhaugh may still hide a Roman road beneath South Lanarkshire soil. The names suggest a line joining military, ceremonial and domestic life, yet no surviving path confirms the shape. Men may have walked that lost alignment for miles, carrying orders, grain or grief between places now buried under grass.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castledykes - Bothwellhaugh - Balmuildy (?) as Roman Road (roman). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
