Carpow is a diffuse hamlet in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is situated immediately to the east of the confluence of the River Tay and River Earn, 2 km north east of Abernethy.[1]
Carpow is most notable for its archaeological remains. During Roman times the settlement was named Horrea Classis, and was the site of a temporary camp and fort.[2][3] An early medieval Picto-Scottish cross fragment once formed part the lintel of a well at Carpow House.[4][5]
