Cawdor, Roman military fort in Highland, Scotland
The rectangular enclosure features a defensive ditch measuring 4 meters wide and 3 meters deep, with remnants of corner towers and timber structures.
Archaeological excavations between 1985 and 1990 revealed fragments of Roman pottery, post holes, and structural elements dating back to 80-130 AD.
The fort location represents the northernmost extent of Roman military presence in Britain, marking a strategic point during General Agricola's northern campaign.
The archaeological site lies near Easter Galcantray village, approximately 15 miles east of Inverness, accessible through local roads.
Cropmarks detected through aerial photography in 1984 first indicated the presence of this Roman military installation beneath agricultural fields.
