The fosse,road, and other indications of Roman activity and skill are untraceable here. Its erection may be feued to the days of the Edwards of England. A single circumstance gives strength to this opinion. We are informed by a gentleman who resides in its neighbourhood that during the excavation of stones contiguous to "The Camp" he [fell] upon a coin which bore the date effigy of King Robert Bruce. This is the sum of the information we have been able to collect in [relation] to this interesting memorial of a past age.

OS1/3/14/42 [Page] 42 Sheet 67. Plan 6. Trace 3 -- Parish of Colmonel "The ramparts of all the British Fort, were composed of dry stone and earth - this is a point of agreement. The position of "The Camp", its distance from all the great connecting roads, with a view to an easy use of which Roman Encampments were invariably constructed. The entire absence of the minor antiquities which are commonly to be met with in the vicinity of a pretorium, are all at variance with an association of this antiquity with the Romans Within a radius of a quarter of a mile, there were, not more than three years ago, upwards of thirty well defined Cairns. The Sites of several of these are still indicated by a few loose stones, level with the surface, but even these faint traces are in process of entire obliteration by the busy hand of improvement. They are evidence of a lengthened undisturbed location, or a bloody contest." Signed W. Rutherford.
