Cawdor (Roman fort)
Cawdor (Roman Fort), located near the small village of Eastern Galcantray (15 miles east of Inverness), is suspected of being one of the northernmost Roman forts in Great Britain, though this evidence is controversial.〔(Roman Fort discovery at Cawdor/Eastern Galcantray )〕
==History==
In 1984, the site of an alleged Roman fort was identified at Easter Galcantray, south west of Cawdor, by aerial photography.〔G.D.B. Jones & I. Keillor, "Easter Galcantray", ''Discovery & Excavation Scotland 1984'' (1984), p. 14: "On south bank of river Nairn, straight cropmark with gap in middle and suggestion of two more sides, truncated by river, at right angles to main mark."〕
The site was excavated between 1985 and 1990 and, although no Roman pottery or artefacts were found, several features were identified that seemed supportive of this classification:
If confirmed, it would be the most northerly known Roman fort in the British Isles.〔(Roman fort near Inverness )〕 The possibility that Agricola reached the northernmost area of Scotland can be confirmed by discoveries north of Inverness, specifically at Portmahomack 〔(RCAHMS: Port A'Chaistell )〕 and Tarradale in northern Beauly Firth,〔(Google Book: Tarradale, a possible roman camp. p. 176 )〕 but Romano-British scholars have been consistently reticent in confirming Jones' interpretation of the site.〔G.S. Maxwell & D.R. Wilson, "Aerial reconnaissance in Roman Britain 1977-84", ''Britannia'' Vol. 18 (1987), pp. 1-48, at p. 34: "For the present, it may be noted that, viewed as crop-mark sites, neither (nor Thomshill ) sits happily in the established morphological categories of standard Roman military installations in North Britain". D.J. Breeze, "Why did the Romans fail to conquer Scotland?", ''Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland'' 118 (1988), pp. 3-22, at p. 8: "the suggested Roman context for the sites at Easter Galcantray () and Thoms Hill - Daniels 1986 and Jones 1986 - fails to convince; most of the evidence from the former site would better sit within a medieval context ..." 〕
