STRAGEATH
Perthshire, Scotland.
Roman
fort (1.7 ha) on the river Earn between Ardoch and
Bertha. Excavation begun in 1973 indicates that there
were three successive forts, one Flavian and two Antonine. During the first and last phases the barrack accommodation in the retentura included provision for
cavalry, but it is uncertain whether the unit was an ala
or a cohors equitata.
