They’ll find a Roman outhouse and some Roman Soldier will have written, “Centurion Flavius is an excrement head!”

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!

Here is a large scale map of the area they are investigating:

This line was to run along the hills south of the Highlands Massif, which would place all the Lowlands, including Fife, under Roman rule. It makes sense if you want all the best land for Rome, but it would make for a much less defensible line than the Antonine.
