Drumquhassle, Roman fortification near Drymen, Scotland
The rectangular fort measures 110 meters by 130 meters and contains double defensive ditches across its ramparts located east of Stirling.
The Roman military settlement dates from the Flavian period during the administration of Sallustius Lucullus in the late first century AD.
Excavations at Drumquhassle uncovered Terra Nigra pottery from Gaul, indicating trade connections between Roman soldiers and continental European settlements.
The archaeological site sits 50 meters from a natural spring that provided water to the Roman garrison stationed at the fortification.
Aerial photography in the 1970s revealed the outline of this Glen-blocker fort, positioned to control movement along the Highland Boundary Fault frontier.
