Carpow (/kɑːrˈpaʊ/) is a diffuse hamlet in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
Nearby Neolithic standing stones and circles followed the introduction of farming from about 4,000 BC, and a remarkably well preserved Bronze Age log boat dated to around 1,000 BC was found in the mudflats of the River Tay at Carpow.
[3] During Roman times the settlement was the site of a camp and fort, which was made of stone, signalling the intent to stay for an extended period.
[4][5][6] An early medieval Picto-Scottish cross fragment once formed part the lintel of a well at Carpow House.
The site of the fort has not been comprehensively excavated but it is believed to have served as a naval supply depot for Roman forces in the central lowlands.
