Mumrills fort is a Roman auxiliary fort located on the Antonine Wall near Falkirk in Stirlingshire, Scotland. Built in the second century AD as part of the Antonine Wall system, it served as a key installation along this northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire established under the Emperor Antoninus Pius around AD 142. The fort was garrisoned by auxiliary troops and functioned as a supply and administrative centre, controlling access along the wall and maintaining Roman military presence in Caledonia. Excavations have revealed substantial remains of the fort's defensive structures and internal buildings, making Mumrills an important archaeological site for understanding Roman occupation and frontier strategy in Scotland during the second century AD.
