036 It has been traditionally Recorded in this Neighbourhood that a Roman Camp was on this hill and with the exception of Robert Dalgleish the Authorities quoted consider from what their fathers stated that the place marked on trace is at or about the Spot, previous to the hill being ploughed the place bore the appearance of Artificial Construction which is now defaced, but the fact of its proximity to a Cairn a little North impressed on the memory of the Authorities Sufficient proof to point out the Site
Robert Dalgleish considers the Trig [Trigonometrical] Point on Avisyard Hill the Supposed Site but the Supposition Should be received cautiously as he is not a Native and only a few years resident in the locality
