Overview

History & significance

The Antonine Wall field boundary south of Boclair to Crow Hill is a Romano-British linear earthwork located in Stirlingshire, Scotland. This section of the Antonine Wall, constructed during the reign of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius between approximately 142 and 160 CE, represents part of the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire in Britain. The structure comprises a turf rampart built upon a stone foundation, accompanied by a ditch to the north, and would have served both as a military defence and as a means of controlling movement across the Scottish lowlands. The surviving remains in this locality preserve important archaeological evidence of Roman military engineering and frontier administration during the second century CE.
