"What’s believed to be a Parade Wall has been uncovered, along with some excellent examples of Roman engineering and some small finds that give us more clues as to how the population of Caerleon lived at that time."

#Inchtuthil is the site of a #Roman legionary fortress in #Perth and #Kinross.
The fortress was built in 82 or 83 CE as the headquarters of the army of Gnaeus Julius Agricola, during his campaign against the #Caledonians.

As Peaches and Herb famously said:

Reunited, and it feels so good
Reunited cos we understood
There's one perfect fit
And centurion this one is it
