Cargill is a Roman fort located in Perthshire, Scotland, dating to the Roman occupation of Britain in the first and second centuries AD. The fort occupies a strategic position in the Tay valley and represents part of the Roman military infrastructure established during campaigns into northern Britain, particularly under the governorship of Agricola in the late first century AD. The site exhibits the characteristic playing-card plan typical of Roman auxiliary forts, with evidence of substantial defensive ditches and ramparts. Excavation and archaeological survey have revealed structural remains consistent with the occupation period, contributing to understanding of Roman military presence and strategy in Caledonia.
