Description
Craiglockhart Hill is one of the less known of Edinburgh's famed Seven Hills.
The remains of a small, D-shaped, stone-walled fort was discovered on the summit. Fragments of Roman glass as well as a tiny flake of Samian ware and a round bead, apparently of Antrim bauxite, indicated that the site was probably occupied in the late 1st or the 2nd century AD.
Items from among midden material on the site comprise a bronze armlet, a segment of a jet armlet, a bronze finger ring and a worked flake of chert.
