A new Roman distance-slab from the Antonine Wall
NS 515723. The flrst Antonine Wall distance-slab to be discovered for over a century was ploughed up at Cleddans Farm, between Castlehill and Duntocher. Skilfully carved, it shows an architectural façade in three bays containing ?Britannia and a standard-bearer flanked by defeated Caledonians. The inscription records the building of 3000 Roman feet of wall by the Twentieth Legion. The find-spots of slabs now suggest that each length of wall was m…

The Antonine Wall, 1934–1959
The publication in 1934 of the second edition of Sir George Macdonald's Roman Wall in Scotland marked the end of an era in the study of the Antonine Wall. The interest in systematic exploration aroused by the Glasgow Archaeological Society's investigations of 1890–3 gained momentum during the years that followed; and by 1934 the structural nature of the Wall had been determined and its course for the most part accurately mapped, while excavation,…
The Nature and Purpose of the Expansions on the Antonine Wall
Castellum Veluniate and Civilians on a Roman Frontier
The remarkable Roman altar which has prompted this paper was ploughed up in the spring of 1956 on the farm of Stacks, West Lothian, a short distance E. of the site of the Roman fort of Carriden. 1 The importance of the discovery was at once realised by the farmer's sister, Miss Elizabeth Paul, who reported it to the Keeper of the National Museum of Antiquities, and the farmer himself, Mr James Paul, has generously presented the altar to the Museu…

An Early Iron Age Homestead at West Plean, Stirlingshire
The Roman Fort and Temporary Camp at Oakwood, Selkirkshire
Excavations in the broch and hill-fort of Torwood-Lee, Selkirkshire, 1950
A report on the excavation of the broch and hill fort at Torwoodlee. A hut contemporary to the fort and a burial cist were also discovered on the site during the investigation. The fort and hut were dated to the Early Iron Age but the excavators concluded that he broch and cist were later constructions. The report concludes with catalogues of the sherds of Roman pottery found during the excavations in 1891 and 1950
The Roman Fort at Whitemoss, Renfrewshire
Students of the Antonine Wall have long been puzzled by the apparent weakness of the left flank.The Rampart and Ditch end on the Clyde, 220 yards south-west of the fort of Old Kilpatrick, and no fortifications have previously been recorded on either bank of the river below this point.Yet the Clyde does not constitute an adequate defence in itself.Small boats can cross it with the greatest ease and security at least as far as Gourock, and, althoug…
Dun Lagaidh and four other prehistoric monuments near Ullapool, Ross and Cromarty
The Iron Age Settlement at Hayhope Knowe, Roxburghshire: Excavations, 1949
The excavation of a double palisade enclosure near Roxburgh in 1949 uncovered three Iron Age huts. This report describes the excavation process and the layout of the site, as well as the finds made during the excavation. The authors then offer some suggestions regarding the lifestyle of the people living in these huts, although the construction and purpose of the double palisade remains unclear
Excavations in Two Homesteads at Crock Cleuch, Roxburghshire
Excavation of two adjacent stone built enclosures and associated field system characterised as homesteads or clusters of houses. There is a marked concentration of these along the sides of the valleys of the Bowmont and Kale Waters and their tributaries, although they differ widely in plan and construction, and, it may be inferred,in date
