This is one of two short sections of the Antonine Wall visible within New Kilpatrick Cemetery. Both are Scheduled Monuments http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM7341 and part of the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site https://www.historicenvironment.scot/advice-and-support/listing-scheduling-and-designations/world-heritage-sites/antonine-wall/. The remains of the stone base of the rampart are well preserved and show various distinctive features of construction. The cemetery, which was opened in 1903, has been built over the rest of the Wall at this point. The site is currently getting rather overgrown.
