Strageath

Strageath

Strageath is a Roman camp near the River Earn in eastern Scotland. [ [http://www.roman-britain.org/places/strageath_camp.htm Strageath Roman Camp, Scotland] ] Strageath was one of a chain of camps that the Romans used in their march northward. Other notable camps in this chain are Ardoch, Battledykes, Stracathro, Raedykes and Normandykes. [

In the Middle Ages the parish church of "Strogeath" lay within the area of the fort. The dedication was to St. Patrick. The site is marked by a graveyard, and some scant remains of the church building.
