Archaeologists have discovered the buried remains of a Roman fort along Scotland's ancient Antonine Wall.
Archaeologists have discovered the foundations of a"lost" second-century Roman fort in western Scotland — part of an ill-fated effort to extend the empire's control throughout Britain.
But his push was ultimately unsuccessful, in part because of the hostility of the Indigenous people. After 20 years trying to hold their new northern line, the Romans abandoned the Antonine Wall in A.D. 162 and retreated back to Hadrian's Wall. "Lost" fortArchaeologists from HES found the buried remains of the small fort, or"fortlet," beside a school on the northwestern outskirts of the modern city of Glasgow.
But there's now nothing above ground to show that the fort was ever there; , and the archaeologists located its buried stone foundations using gradiometry, a noninvasive geophysical technique that measures tiny variations in Earth's magnetic field to detect underground structures. Roman wallThere's now little visible evidence of the Antonine Wall, and the newly discovered fortlet is a rare find.
Thereafter, Hadrian's Wall became the northernmost frontier of the empire, seemingly until Roman rule collapsed in Britain in the early fifth century, he said.
