This is the more easterly of the two preserved sections of the stone base of the Antonine Wall that are on view in New Kilpatrick Cemetery. For the westerly one, see Image, and other images that are linked from there. As for this eastern section, it is almost 30 metres long; as the picture shows, there is a distinct kerb on each side. Compare Image, a view from a different angle, highlighting the southern curbstones. For a view from the other end, see Image Like the other section, this easterly one is crossed obliquely by an original culvert, whose remains are visible: Image The wall that can be seen not far ahead in the present picture is the eastern boundary of the cemetery; there is a golf course on the other side. The cross to the right of the Wall's base is the Cuthbert Memorial. Beyond that is a table stone commemorating Sir Archibald Spencer Lindsey Campbell, the Fifth Baronet of Succoth, and his wife.
