Gask House is a Roman signal station and temporary camp located approximately 500 metres west-north-west of Gask House in Perthshire, Scotland. The site dates to the later first century AD and formed part of the Roman frontier system in Scotland, likely constructed during or shortly after the Agricolan campaigns of the 80s AD. The station would have served a defensive and communicative function along the Roman lines of control in this strategically important region of northern Britain. Archaeological survey and excavation have identified characteristic features of Roman temporary camps and signal stations at this location, though much of the site remains unexcavated and its precise extent and internal arrangement require further investigation.
