On high ground to the west of Cleddans Farmhouse (West Dunbartonshire) is the site of a Roman fortlet on the Antonine Wall.
The best examples of stone structures along the entire Antonine Wall can be seen within a modern housing development in Bearsden. You can visit the exposed remains of a Roman bathhouse and latrine block within the area of the fort’s annexe.
Within the grounds of New Kilpatrick Cemetery, Bearsden are two visible sections of the stone base of the rampart of the Antonine Wall.
Immediately south-east of a sharp bend in the Forth and Clyde Canal at Cadder is the site of a Roman fort.
Peel Park in Kirkintilloch marks the site of a Roman fort on the Antonine Wall. Nothing of the fort is clearly visible on the ground today, but the site is well worth a visit because of the nearby Auld Kirk Museum and Roman themed playpark.
The highest of all the Antonine Wall forts, the fort at Bar Hill has spectacular views in all directions. The fort platform, east gate, and the remains of the headquarters building (principia) and bathhouse are visible today.
