Kirkhill Roman Signal Station
Gask Ridge Signal Station
This watch-tower lies to the immediate south of the Roman military road in a wooded area. Excavated in 1909, the central platform was found to be 46 feet (c.14m) in diameter surrounded by a ditch with an external bank. This watch-tower along with others spaced almost uniformly along the Roman military road into the north-east formed an early Roman frontier along the Gask Ridge in Tayside.
