Auchendavy Roman fort, Roman fort in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland
The Auchendavy fort features a mound situated between the Forth and Clyde Canal and the road, marking its strategic placement within Scotland.
The fort was established during Antoninus Pius's reign, housing military units from both the 20th and 2nd Roman Legions along the Antonine Wall.
The discovery of five Roman altars near the fort in 1771 revealed dedications to eleven deities, indicating the religious practices of Roman soldiers.
The archaeological site lies at coordinates 55.94906 latitude and -4.119186 longitude, north of Kirkintilloch's northern boundary in East Dunbartonshire.
Construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal in the 18th century damaged significant portions of the fort, leading to substantial archaeological data loss.
