What is recorded here

Castle Greg is a preserved Roman fortlet in West Lothian where two deep ditches and a standing rampart still mark a small military watchpost. It likely monitored the east-west road beneath the Pentlands during the first century, when open land let its guards watch toward the Fife coast. The name may descend from Camulosessa Præsidium, linking the stones to Camulos and the nearby village of Camilty.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Greg as Fortlet (roman). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. 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.
