Explore two Antonine Wall forts through a visitor’s film with aerial footage.

What this video covers

On Misty Mountains visits Bar Hill and Rough Castle, using footage from the ground and the air to show the remains and their surroundings. The film is particularly useful for appreciating the contrast between visible stone foundations and substantial earthworks.

This is an independent visitor account rather than an archaeological lecture. Enjoy the landscape footage alongside the linked site guides, which provide a more detailed basis for interpreting individual features.

Some historical wording in the publisher’s description is simplified. In particular, “Picts” should not be used uncritically for the people confronting Rome during the second-century occupation of the Antonine Wall. Use the film primarily as a visual introduction to the sites.
