Rough Castle Roman Fort

view map

On the Antonine Wall.This view is looking down from the fort platform, over the earthworks ramparts,on the S.W. corner of the fort.NB:Now, anyone familiar with Hadrian's Wall, will immediately
notice a difference between this "wall" and Hadrian's Wall.Hadrian's Wall is built in stone, but,that was the exception.All along the Rhine/Danube frontier,the limes, were built in turf,as was the case here on what we now call "The Antonine Wall".So called because it was ordered to be built by Antoninus Pius,Roman Emperor.see http://www.antoninewall.org/
