042 | Description Contd. [Continued] This vallum in all probability might be so, from this inference that the Romans placed their Camps generally [vieinal] to Vitrified Forts, for the evident purpose of watching them; for instance the Vitrified fort on the summit of Noth, is only about one and a half miles distant from this camp: but I would conjecture that this primitive stronghold which consists of an oval artificial trench of about 7 links in width or thereby, and which is dug out of the side of the Hill, there being a slight escarp from the summit to the trench, was more evidently intended to afford protection to the natives and their cattle from an enemy - or Invaders. |
