Ardoch Roman Fort, Roman military earthworks in Braco, Scotland
The rectangular fort features multiple defensive ditches and ramparts, spanning two hectares with preserved structures reaching heights of two meters.
The site includes three superimposed forts, with the earliest dating from the Flavian period and two subsequent constructions from the Antonine era.
The medieval residents constructed a chapel within the fort's central area, incorporating a graveyard that represents continuous human presence across centuries.
The archaeological site remains under private ownership through the Ardoch estate but permits public access during regular daylight hours.
The excavations of 1896 revealed distinct barracks structures made from both stone and timber, indicating different construction periods and military occupation phases.
