Camilty Hill is a Roman fortlet situated in Midlothian, Scotland, forming part of the strategic network of installations associated with Roman military activity in southern Scotland during the first and second centuries AD. The site occupies a naturally defensive hilltop position and would have served as a supply base or outpost within the broader framework of Roman frontier control in the region. Physical remains are consistent with typical Roman fort construction of the period, though the site has experienced significant erosion and disturbance over nearly two millennia. The fortlet represents an important element of the archaeological record documenting Roman imperial expansion into northern Britain.
