Ardunie
Watch-tower
This watch-tower was discovered by Prof. O.G.S. Crawford on 1st June 1937. The central platform is 39 feet in diameter and lies to the immediate south of the road. 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.
