The level highest point of the road is about 100 feet long. It is interesting that this straight east-west road is at the highest spot within miles (one can see the hills on the other side of Glasgow from here). One wonders if the Romans had a small fort at this location. If so, there isn't likely to be much surviving evidence since there has been extensive quarrying and mining on both sides of this road. The reports that I submitted to Scottish archeologists refer to this spot as Hillhead because that is the name of the farm just beyond the mining south of here.
