Antonine Wall, Seabegs Wood, rampart, ditch and Military Way is a section of the Antonine Wall, the northernmost frontier of the Roman Empire, located in Stirlingshire, Scotland. Built around 142 CE under the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius, this turf and stone rampart stretched approximately 37 miles across central Scotland between the Forth and Clyde estuaries. The site preserves a substantial stretch of the defensive works, including the characteristic rampart, the outer ditch, and the Military Way, a road that ran parallel to the wall's rear face to facilitate troop movement and supply. Seabegs Wood now provides a heavily wooded setting that has preserved the archaeological remains and allows the scale and construction of these 2nd-century Roman military works to be appreciated in the landscape.
