There are a pair of Roman marching camps at Blackhill, dating from the early 3rd century AD. The camps are in the care of Historic Environment Scotland, though the absence of signage rather diminishes potential interest in the site.

Muir o' Fauld is the site of a 1st-century Roman watchtower. Though somewhat overgrown, much can still be seen of the tower layout. The site stood in the midst of a forest, but this has now been cleared, giving a better idea of the site.
