Kaims Castle Roman Fortlet is a small Roman military installation located in Perthshire, Scotland, dating to the Antonine period, likely the second century AD. The fortlet represents one of a series of minor defensive posts established along the Antonine Wall and its associated road network, serving to control movement and provide supply points for the Roman military presence in northern Britain. The site is characterised by the remains of ramparts and ditches typical of Roman auxiliary fortifications, though its modest scale reflects its role as a patrol base rather than a major garrison fort. Archaeological investigation has confirmed its Roman date and function within the broader strategic network of the Antonine frontier system.
