What is recorded here
Castle Greg is a Roman fortlet in West Lothian, Scotland, where two deep ditches and a surviving rampart still mark a small military base used to watch the east-west road beneath the Pentlands. During the first century AD, the land around it was open enough for guards to see toward the Fife coastline, making the modest site a sharp eye on a busy frontier. The name may descend from Camulosessa Præsidium, linking the place to Camulos Tref and reminding us that even a fortlet less than an acre wide could hold a region within its gaze.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Greg as Blade (period Unassigned), Scraper (tool) (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
