Bar Hill is a Roman temporary camp situated in Dunbartonshire, Scotland, dating to the Antonine period of the second century AD. The camp occupies a commanding position on high ground and represents one of the string of installations associated with the Roman occupation and military campaigns in northern Britain during the reign of Antoninus Pius. The site displays the characteristic features of Roman temporary camps, including defensive ditches and ramparts, though these earthworks are now reduced by ploughing and modern land use. Bar Hill's strategic location reflects Roman military planning in the Forth-Clyde isthmus region, an area of considerable importance during the period of Roman advance into Scotland.
