![Rough Castle: western defences of the fort. The Roman fort at Rough Castle is one of several that were located along the course of the Antonine Wall. Running parallel to the wall, but about 50 metres to its south, was a road called the Military Way. Few stretches of the Military Way are now visible, and even these are far from conspicuous; see [[1903331]].However, its course is easily visible in one place, namely, where it interrupts the double-ditch defences at the western end of the fort. That western side is shown in this photograph: the inner ditch runs diagonally up from the lower-left corner of the image, and the outer ditch can be seen beyond it.Note, near the centre of the image, a well-worn path that leads downhill, blocking the ditches where it crosses them. That path corresponds to the course of the Military Way, and leads down from what would have been the western gate of the fort.In the annotated satellite view (see the end-note), the location corresponding to the present picture is the area where the Military Way (represented by a green line) cuts across the ditches at the western end of the fort. by Lairich Rig – 24 May 2010](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/90/36/1903662_aff67f84_120x120.jpg)
![The Lilia at Rough Castle. These pits formed part of the forward (northern) defences of the Roman fort at Rough Castle, on the Antonine Wall. They were originally about 3 feet deep and probably held upright sharpened stakes; these pits were then concealed with brushwood. The defences here consisted of about ten rows of twenty pits each. These pits were opened up by excavation in 1903, and have been kept open since then.For other views, see [[2472565]] and [[2010564]].See the end-note for an annotated satellite view, which shows the position of the lilia as well as various other features of the fort and annexe.The Romans called these defences](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/92/58/925844_4f682b43_120x120.jpg)

![View to Rough Castle Fort. The Rowantree Burn flows across the lower half of the image. The ditch of the Antonine Wall runs up diagonally from the lower left corner of the photo; it disappears where its course is crossed by the valley of the burn, but it reappears on the other side.From the centre to the right-hand edge of the photograph, the remains of the defensive ditches at the near (western) edge of the fort at Rough Castle can be seen. There is a double ditch at the top of the slope, as shown in [[1903662]].At the bottom of the slope, there is an additional ditch, but it does not extend along the full length of the fort's western side. These features are apparent in the annotated satellite view (see the end-note).For a similar photograph, see [[1449013]]. by Lairich Rig – 24 May 2010](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/90/32/1903278_55ab2143_120x120.jpg)
