ROMAN CAMP
(Remains of)
[signed initials] EHC [Edward Henry Courtney]
This object is evidently the Roman camp mentioned in Statistical Account etc.-
It is believed by some Archeoelogist; who inspected it some 40 years ago, to
have been merely intended to accommodate a small garrison for the purpose
of keeping open the communications between the Camp at Peterculter on the
River Dee, & the Camp at Glenmeilan in Auchterless Parish. As I can find
no traces, beyond those inserted on the Plan, I have no doubt that such must
have been the case.
