The site is fenced off (the photo was taken through the railings), and is located not far from the north-western entrance of the park. For a view of this site in context, see Image At the top of the same slope is the location of a Roman fort: Image Further east on the course of the Antonine Wall, another section of the stone base of the wall is exposed to view in Roman Park, Bearsden: Image A little further east again, two more sections are on display in New Kilpatrick Cemetery (also in Bearsden): Image and Image
