Mumrills was the site of the largest Roman fort on the Antonine Wall in Scotland.[1] It is possible that Mumrills could exchange signals with Flavian Gask Ridge forts.[2] Some believe Mumrills may have been the site of Wallace's defeat at the Battle of Falkirk.[3] The farm at Mumrills was also used as an early site for the Falkirk Relief Church.[4]
