According to the organization Historic Environment Scotland, they found the ruins near the town of Clydebank using a special measuring technique that can determine whether there is anything underground without having to dig.
According to the PA news agency, an antiquarian had already designated a fort in the region in 1707. In the 1970s and 1980s, archaeologists in the same region had already searched for it, but were not successful.
“It’s great to see our historical knowledge increasing as new methods give us new insights into the past,” said Riona McMorrow of Historic Environment Scotland.
The site, once believed to have been manned by ten to twelve soldiers stationed nearby, is believed to be part of the 2nd-century Antonine Wall.
The Antonine Wall was one of the largest Roman fortifications in the north of Britain and is now one of Scotland’s six UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The rampart is said to have once had about 40 forts, of which only nine have been found so far. (sda/dpa)
