It’s maddening when the writer of articles like these mentions a fact like “the most unusual Roman fort gate in the world found only in Scotland’ and then fails to give some details on why the gate is unusual and rare. GRRRRR!

It’s made entirely out of local bricks, which were kiln-baked near the site. The records indicate that they needed so many that the Roman overseer kept shouting “more clay! more clay!”

Okay, yes, it wasn’t worth the setup.
