    Kinneil: Fortlet

    KINNEIL: FORTLET Kinneil offers the only visible example of an Antonine Wall fortlet, in a field to the west of Kinneil House. The fortlet is marked out by original stone kerbing of its ramparts and part of the Antonine Wall’s Rampart (which served as the fortlet’s north rampart), with stone paving filling out the areas where original stonework has not survived. Timber posts mark out the location of Roman period post-holes, which give an indication of the fortlet’s gateways and internal buildings. The Antonine Wall Ditch can be partially (but not easily) traced in the fields between Kinneil House and the fortlet. Exhibits covering Kinneil’s history, including Roman artefacts from the fortlet, are located in the Kinneil Museum. HISTORY OF DISCOVERY AND EXCAVATION: Kinneil had long been suspected as the site The Roman fortlet was first discovered in 1978, of a Roman fort, though antiquaries were following the discovery of Roman pottery not all in agreement. Confusion may have during fieldwalking by the Cumbernauld arisen because of a long-standing medieval Historical Society. Two sets of excavations village that occupied the fields known as were carried out in 1978-79 and then again in “the Meadows” to the west of Kinneil House, 1980-81, revealing the remains of the fortlet near the site of the ruined medieval church. and portions of the Antonine Wall Rampart This village extended over both sides of the and Ditch; the entire interior of the fortlet was Antonine Wall and may have been in existence excavated, but the ditches were only explored from the early medieval period, as suggested through several sample trenches.
