A Roman altar was found at Bogton Farm under a kilometre west of the fort. A Samian ware platter, possibly also associated with the site was found, and can now be viewed at the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow. from west to east: Bishopton, Old Kilpatrick, Duntocher, Cleddans, Castlehill, Bearsden, Summerston, Balmuildy, Wilderness…
