Friday my luggage showed
up in time for me to still do some stuff. I went out to one of the
Roman Fort Sites along the Antonine Wall. This is Roughcastle Fort,
and it has some great signs and views, plus some visible remains.
These pits, called lilia, were
originally about 9 feet deep and had sharpened stakes sticking up
from the bottom. Historic Scotland wisely steered away from
absoluteauthenticity.
