Bellie, Moray: Possibly (but probably not) the northernmost Roman site in Scotland and the entire Roman Empire. Located near the River Spey, its exact nature remains debated. Cropmarks and limited excavation suggest possible camp defences.

It’s an often overlooked fact when thinking about #HadriansWall is where did the soldiers live when building or repairing the wall? At Burnhead a temporary camp survives possibly used by the wall builders although dating is difficult with these sites #Archaeology #RomanBritain

Today I’m up a mountain in Austria and have found some Roman remains - the wall of a burgus from the 4th century. It’s a military tower altho different to the ones found in Scotland
