Lurg Moor is a Roman fortlet situated in Renfrewshire, Scotland, dating to the Roman occupation period in Britain. The site comprises a small military installation constructed to control and monitor movement along the Roman road network that traversed this region of southern Scotland. The fortlet's physical remains reflect the standard defensive layout typical of auxiliary installations of the Roman frontier, strategically positioned to support supply routes and military communications. Its association with the Roman road system demonstrates the coordinated infrastructure through which Rome maintained control of territory north of the Antonine Wall during the second century AD.
