JGolomb Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Roman military sites investigated A team from Historic Scotland is seeking to identify significant remains which do not have scheduled monument status. It will also update information on scheduled sites following new research. Romans launched campaigns in Scotland during the late 1st, mid-2nd and early 3rd centuries. Historic Scotland said Roman literature also had accounts of a campaign deep into Scotland in the 4th Century to crush Caledonian tribes but it has not been possible to identify archaeological remains from that operation. The public body said while Scotland was never permanently occupied the country has more camps than any other part of Britain or Europe. Forts were also built. Key sites include Kintore near Aberdeen and Pathhead and Inveresk in Lothian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
