What is recorded here
Kaims Castle is a Roman fortlet in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, consisting of a nearly square inner enclosure, an outer ditch, and a paved causeway reaching a Roman road. Christison excavated the site in 1900 and found paving but no tower post-holes, while the only date evidence mentioned is two shapeless lumps of lead. Its plan resembles first-century north Devon sites and may relate to the Ardoch signal post, though an Antonine reoccupation is not impossible.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kaims Castle as Fortlet (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.
Kaims Castle is a Roman fortlet located in Scotland, built during the Roman occupation of the region, likely between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. It is important as part of the Roman military infrastructure in Scotland, reflecting their efforts to control and defend the northern frontier of the empire.
