Description
An account of the resource
<p>In 2003 the Antonine Wall was nominated for World Heritage Status by the Government with support from Scottish Local Authorities. It became Scotland's 5th World Heritage Site in 2008 being listed as an extension of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire. It is the most northerly and westerly section of the frontier which stretches across Europe.</p><p>The Antonine Wall formed the northern defences of Antonine forts, the remaining 3 sides were also ramparts surrounded by 2 or 3 ditches. Forts contained barracks for about 500 men, administrative buildings, storerooms and workshops. The bath house was usually outside the fort to reduce the risk of fire. Antonine forts were located on Croy Hill, Bar Hill and at Westerwood and Castlecary. </p>
