Barrhill, an elevation 400 feet above sea-level, on the mutual border of Cumbernauld and Kirkintilloch parishes, Dumbartonshire, 3½ miles W by S of Cumbernauld village. One of the forts in the line of Antoninus' Wall stood on its summit, and must have commanded a view of almost the entire line of the wall from the Forth to the Clyde. Some vaults, in entire condition, were discovered near the close of last century.
