Inverquharity

Inverquharity is a Roman fortlet in Scotland, close to the Highland Line about 5 miles north of Kirriemuir, Angus. Although very little archaeological work has taken place, it is assumed that Inverquharity forms part of the Roman occupation during the Flavian period; this would mean it was constructed sometime between 70 and 86 CE. It would thus form part of the series of Strathmore forts, which include Inchtuthil, Cargill I and II, Cardean and Stracathro.

Located at 56.7094, -2.96306 (Lat. / Lng.), about 2 miles away.
