Roman fortlet 110m southeast of 3 Broadlee Cottages is a small auxiliary fort of the Roman period located in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The site represents one of a network of such installations established during Rome's military campaigns in northern Britain, likely dating to the second century AD. The fortlet would have served as a garrison point to control movement and maintain Roman authority in this frontier region. Though now largely invisible at ground level, the site remains archaeologically significant as evidence of Rome's reach into southwestern Scotland during the occupation period.
