Kintore is the site of Deers Den Roman Camp and is thought to relate to Agricola's campaigns into Scotland ; moreover, Deers Den is associated with the invasion of Severan. Archaeologists say that the Kintore camp was definitely occupied in 120 AD and may have been occupied on as many as three occasions during the Scottish campaigns, before lack of resources and more pressing matters elsewhere in the Roman Empire induced consolidation and retreat.
