Glenbank was the site of a Roman fortlet associated with the Gask Ridge in Scotland. [1] It was discovered from aerial photography by G. S. Maxwell in 1983. [2] It was confirmed by geophysics and excavations which were carried out in 1984 and 1999. [3] It is beside the Roman road that linked the forts at Ardoch and Doune. [4] It is currently the most southerly of the known Gask fortifications. [5] It was probably built around 70-80 AD. [6] Several other Gask installations have been identified running north to Bertha. [7]
The site is south of the Allan Water close to the A9 road. [8] It seems to have been deliberately demolished by the Romans when they abandoned it. [9]
