Antonine Wall
This is one of two short sections of the Antonine Wall visible within New Kilpatrick Cemetery. Both are Scheduled Monuments Link
and part of the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site Link. The remains of the stone base of the rampart are well preserved and show various distinctive features of construction. The cemetery, which was opened in 1903, has been built over the rest of the Wall at this point.
The site is currently getting rather overgrown.

New Kilpatrick Cemetery
The cemetery, also known as Hillfoot Cemetery, opened in 1903, and is on the northern side of Boclair Road. Between the Wars (c.1922), it was extended to the north. Its former lodge, at the SW corner, is now a private residence. The line of the Antonine Wall passes through the cemetery, changing direction near the crest of the hill, and two sections of the stone base of the Wall are preserved and open to view (one since 1903, the other since 1921).
