Evidence of building work on Cleddans and on the Wall by units of both the sixth and the twentieth legions has been found in the area.

Cleddans Roman fortlet was located by trial trenching in 1980[3] south of the main road between Duntocher and Bearsden.

[8] Quintus Lollius Urbicus, governor of Roman Britain at the time, initially supervised the effort.

It was one of a string of forts and fortlets built to support the Antonine Wall; troop movement was facilitated by a road linking all the sites known as the Military Way.

[10] Larger forts like Castlecary and Birrens had a nominal garrison of a cohort of 1,000 men[11] but there is evidence that they sheltered women and children[12] as well, although the troops were not allowed to marry.

On the left is an armed Mars and, on the right, Virtus is depicted with a sheathed sword and a military standard.

The three slabs hold building inscriptions from the Twentieth (two) and Sixth (one) Legions dedicated to the emperor Antoninus Pius.

[23] A well-preserved fourth tablet (RIB 3507) was found on the west of Hutcheson Hill[24] in March 1969 at Cleddans Farm.

[30] Who the female figure depicts is uncertain; Victoria, Britannia, and Faustina the Elder have been proposed.
