Wilderness Plantation was the site of a Roman fortlet on the Antonine Wall in Scotland.[2]

The line of the Antonine Wall runs roughly parallel between the River Kelvin to the north and the Forth and Clyde Canal to the south.[3]

The site, like several others along the wall and beyond, was found by aerial photography, this discovery being reported in October 1965.[4] Following this Wilkes excavated in that year and the following one.[5] He approved of the term "interval fortlet" to describe this and other fortlets like Duntocher and Glasgow Bridge.[6]

The neighbouring forts to this fortlet are Balmuildy in the west and Cadder in the east.

A single Hadrian dupondius coin was found at Wilderness West.[7]

No coinage has been recovered nor are there any inscriptions from the fortlet although a single coin was picked up at Wilderness West.[8]

Many Roman forts along the wall held garrisons of around 500 men.[9] Larger forts like Castlecary and Birrens had a nominal cohort of 1000 men[10] but probably sheltered women and children[11] as well although the troops were not allowed to marry.[12] There is likely too to have been large communities of civilians around the site.[13]
