Coille Dobhair an Ear: campa sealach

At Easter Cadder is the site of a Roman temporary camp.

The camp is sometimes visible in aerial photos, but nothing is visible on the ground today. It has never been excavated but aerial photographs reveal that one of the entrances to the camp was protected by a staggered section of banks and ditches. It was probably a construction camp accommodating the men who were involved in constructing the Wall.

The site of the camp lies immediately west of Park Burn, between the Forth and Clyde Canal and the A803 at Westermains on the western outskirts of Kirkintilloch.
