Croy Hill Roman fort, Roman fort on Antonine Wall in North Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The fort occupies a plateau 120 meters above sea level and contains remains of a granary, headquarters building, and fortifications with turf ramparts.
Sir George Macdonald conducted extensive excavations between 1920 and 1935, revealing the fort's layout and collecting artifacts that document Roman military architecture.
Discoveries at the site include religious items such as fragments of Jupiter Dolichenus relief and altars dedicated to Nymphs and Mars deities.
The archaeological site stands between Croy and Dullatur villages, accessible through minor roads from B802 with Croy train station within walking distance.
Unlike other sections of the Antonine Wall, the defensive ditch at Croy Hill remained unexcavated due to extremely hard basalt and dolerite rock formations.
