Castle Greg, Roman fortlet in West Lothian, Scotland.
The rectangular fortification contains two defensive ditches and a rampart protecting an area of approximately one acre on Camilty Hill.
Archaeological excavations in 1852 by Professor Sir Daniel Wilson uncovered fragments of glass, pottery, and amphora artifacts from the Roman occupation period.
The fort represents the Roman military architecture and engineering skills used to establish control points along their northern frontier in Britain.
The remains of Castle Greg are accessible from the B7008 road, located three miles southeast of West Calder in the southern region.
The fortlet's strategic position enabled Roman soldiers to monitor movements along the east-west road connecting the Forth to the Clyde Valley.
