Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
There are still no indisputably Agricolan structures known on the Antonine Wall; the enclosures underlying the forts at Bar Hill and Croy Hill seem best interpreted instead as Celtic ritual sites. Such an interpretation for Bar Hill in particular is supported by votive offerings, ritual pits and a venerated well; and at Croy there was a cistern of possible ritual use. Recent evidence that the Ravenna Cosmography may name forts in order from east to west would place Medionemeton (a name suggesting the existence of a pre-Roman sanctuary) somewhere on the Bar Hill-Croy Hill massif, but only further epigraphic discovery could show us to which of these forts the name was eventually transferred. Functional parallels with German Viereckschanzen come to mind. |
