Abstract:
NS 515723. The flrst Antonine Wall distance-slab to be discovered for over a century was ploughed up at Cleddans Farm, between Castlehill and Duntocher. Skilfully carved, it shows an architectural façade in three bays containing ?Britannia and a standard-bearer flanked by defeated Caledonians. The inscription records the building of 3000 Roman feet of wall by the Twentieth Legion. The find-spots of slabs now suggest that each length of wall was marked by four slabs, not two; and the unweathered condition of this one suggests its concealment well before 185.
