The Antonine Wall, Millhall Burn to River Avon, is a Roman frontier fortification constructed in the mid-second century AD, roughly between 142 and 160 AD, under the emperors Antoninus Pius and his successor. This section of the wall extends across Stirlingshire in central Scotland and represents part of the turf and stone rampart that once stretched approximately 37 miles between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde. The monument survives as an earthwork comprising a ditch on the northern face and a rampart, with the physical remains varying considerably in preservation along this stretch. This section of the Antonine Wall, like the wider monument, was abandoned by the early 160s AD and superseded as the empire's northern frontier by Hadrian's Wall to the south, though its archaeological significance remains considerable as evidence of Roman military engineering and strategy in Britain.
