Antonine Wall, Ferguston Muir to New Kilpatrick Cemetery, is a scheduled ancient monument consisting of a section of the turf-built Roman fortification constructed across central Scotland in the second century AD. This stretch of the wall, situated in Dunbartonshire, forms part of the Antonine Wall, which was erected under the instruction of Emperor Antoninus Pius around 142 AD and represents the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire at its construction. The monument preserves visible traces of the characteristic linear earthwork that once stretched approximately 37 miles between the Forth and Clyde estuaries, built with a ditch to the north and a turf superstructure upon a stone foundation. The section remains archaeologically significant as evidence of Roman military infrastructure and the empire's attempt to control the territory of Roman Britain during the second century.
