SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS by Anne

s.

Robertson

The Early Fortlet The evidence carefully noted and recorded by the 1902-1905 excavators for the silting up and long disuse of the ditches of the early fortlet, before the Antonine fort was built over them,cannot be lightly dismissed, in spite of recent attempts to do so. With the experience and knowledge gained from the sections recently cut through the Antonine turf Wall and Ditch by Gart­ shore Estate workers on Croy Hill and Bar Hill (see above p. 4 ) , it was easy to identify the cut turves in the upper part of the fortlet ditch, brush­ wood, and roots of whin and hazel below, a layer of stones and earth with a few pieces of cut wood, and at the bottom a depth of almost 2 ft (. 61 m) of silt and vegetable matter. The cut turves may well have been placed in the upper part of the ditch by Antonine fort builders, but the overgrown state of the ditch below, and the 2 ft (. 61 m) of silt and vegetable matter confirm the excavators' belief that the ditch had long been open and disused. An alternative explanation that the small fortlet on Bar Hill and the similar fortlet on Croy Hill had been proto-Antonine installations is open to the objection that it would have been inconvenient to place such short-lived structures right on top of two of the highest sites on the Antonine frontier line if there was any likelihood that these were to become permament Antonine Wall fort-sites. Further, the only closely analogous Antonine fortlet on the Antonine Wall line, at Mumrills, lies clear to the east of the Antonine fort, and to judge from its surviving remains was a near-rectangular enclosure, in outline quite unlike the Bar Hill and Croy Hill fortlets.1 No dating evidence came from the ditches of the Bar Hill fortlet - only a Roman shoe. From the corpus of finds and pottery described above, only a fragment of a worn gritty red-brown bowl with broad reeded rim may be isolated as a possible late first-century piece. It could, on the other hand, be a survival. Until further excavation of the Bar Hill fortlet becomes feasible, its exact date will doubtless remain a matter for discussion. In the light of the available evidence from the 1902-1905 excavation the balance of probab­ ility seems to favour a date many years before the Antonine period. It would in that case be identifiable as the base of one of the praesidia established by Agricola on the Forth-Clyde isthmus.2
