Description: Antonine's Wall at Watling Lodge Antonine's Wall running across central Scotland from the Forth to the Clyde was built in 142AD and is 37 miles long. It marked the northern frontier of the Roman Empire but was soon abandoned. The photo shows the ditch in advance of the wall with upcast mound to the left and ramparts to the right.Since it was built of turf on stone foundations much of the wall has been eroded but sections here also at Rough Castle and over Barr Hill are well preserved. It is now listed as a World Heritage Site.
