[Reverend] Park Parish Minister 019 "At the house of Nether Croy, situated in the low grounds to the north of Croy Hill, are two pieces of Roman Sculpture and a votive Altar, which are said to have been found in the immediate vicinity of the height in question. The former are placed in the wall of the building, the latter stands in a green plot adjoining.

(The altar is the most recently discovered, and may have been found at a somewhat later period, although we have not been able to ascertain the particulars).

OS1/9/5/8 ROMAN ALTAR & ROMAN SCULPTURE (Continued) Roman Altar (continued 019 [continued from page 7] of a laurel wreath. The second represents three Roman Soldiers in the dress usually worn by the Hastati of the Legions _ two of them are armed with spears, and rest their Scuta or bucklers upon the ground, while the third carries a sword and raises his shield as if awaiting an attack: the last mentioned has what appears to be a small target or breast-plate hanging from his neck, and covering the lower part of his body: none of the three wear any description of helmit or cap. The Altar which stands at Nether Croy was found in a somewhat mutilated state: the inscription, however, had escaped uninjured; and as the deficiency has been supplied by modern hands, this venerable monument appears on the whole to be but little injured by the Assaults of time. Its height is about 38, its breadth about 14 inches, and it is dedicated to the genii of the woods and Streams as follows;- NYMPHIS VEXILLATI° LEG VI VIC P SVB FA BIO BERA -- NYMPHIS VEXILLATIO LEGIONIS SEXTAE VICTRICIS FIAE FIDELIS, SUB FABIO BERA -- To the Nymphs The Vexillation of the Sixth Legion, the Victorious Pius and Faithful, Under the command of Fabius Bera.

Farmer Westerwood William Stark. Easter Dullatur T. Duncan. Wester Dullatur John Cooper. Over Croy William Brown. Langhill 019 ; 020 ; 025 " For the last two hundred & fifty years, the site of the great northern Rampart - known as the wall of Antoninus, from its having been constructed in his reign - has commanded the attention of not a few amongst those of our national Antiquaries whose ardour led them to penetrate the recesses of the land - ** And seldom since the eye of the inquiring visitant first rested on the dilapidated traces of this ancient barrier, have many years been added in succession to the 'measure' of its age, without one accidental Circumstance or another exposing to light some fresh memorials of its Roman constructors; whose individual names appear at times before us in sculpture as fresh as if the work of recent years, while the grandeur of their united labours has crumbled into dust. This great work, then, consisted in the first place of an immense fosse or ditch - averaging about forty feet in width by some twenty in depth - which extended over hill and dale in one unbroken line, from sea to sea. Behind this ditch, on its southern side, and within a few feet of its base, was raised a rampart of intermingled stone and earth, strengthened by sods of turf; which measured, it is supposed, about twenty feet in height, and twenty-four in thickness at the base. This rampart or agger was surmounted by a parapet, behind which ran a level platform, for the accomodation of its defenders. To the southward of the whole was situated the Military Way - a regular Causewayed road, about twenty feet wide - which kept by the course of the wall at irregular distances approaching in some places, and in others receding to a considerable distance. Along the whole line , from W. [West] Kilpatrick to Carriden, there were established, it is believed, nineteen principal Stations or Forts; we cannot be quite certain of the number, because, towards the east end of the wall, the traces of their existence have for two centuries at least, been either very indistinct or entirely obliterated. Along these intervals were placed many smaller Castella or Watch Towers, of which only some two or three could be observed in the year 1755. While the contiguous rampart seems to have been little more than a well formed earthern mound, it is probable that many if not all the Stations were revetted with stone or entirely built of that material. In some places it would even appear that the vallum itself had been raised upon a stone foundation - probably in situations where the ground was low and marshy, and where it was necessarry to form drains beneath the works to prevent the accumulation of water on their interior side. Genl. [General] Roy supposes the ditch to have constituted the chief strength of the whole, and seems to consider the agger itself as having been of very secondary importance. He was evidently led to this opinion from the insignificant appearance which even the best preserved of its sections presented when he saw them; it must however be borne in mind as a circumstance highly probable, that the rampart, was, in course of time, much more liable to be demolished than the fosse to be filled up - hence perhaps, the distinct appearance of the one compared with the other." Caledonia Romana. The remains of the ditch of the Roman Wall, better known to the Country people as "Graham's Sheugh", is, on the whole, in good preservation in Cumbernauld. Every Farmer or resident, near the line of wall, knows it. In the rough rocky grounds of Croy Hill, (Plan 025.3 and 019A.16) and in some wooded portions on the lands of Westerwood, and Easter Dullatur ( 019A.16 and 020.13.) the remains are almost perfect. Throughout the greater part of the Parish the ditch has, in some measure, been preserved by being formed into the borders of fields. The Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway crosses it in two places - at Castlecary and Easter Dullatur, and in both cases has obliterated all traces for a short distance on either side. Croy Hill is the only place in the Parish where any plain remains of the rampart exist. This portion stands upon an eminence or natural Knowe, on the highest part of the Hill, and is seen from many places in the district. On the top of the rampart there is a level track, 7 or 8 feet wide, from which it now slopes regularly on each side to the bottom - that side next to the ditch, mingling with it, at one part, as one unbroken Embankment or slope. /over [continued on page 26]

OS1/9/5/26 [Page] 26 Dumbartonshire -- Cumbernauld Parish Remains of Fosse or Ditch of Roman wall / Continued [continued from page 25] In the Caledonia Romana it is stated that "It is generally believed that a Garrison Station had existed near their eastern extremity, at a point distant some 3200 yards" - about a mile & a half - "from the Barhill Fort." The distance given would agree with the part remaining. but there is not anything more remarkable about this place, nor at any other part of the Hill. in the shape of remains intrenchments &c. One thing remarkable is, that no remains of the Military Way are to be seen here, where from the rough imcultivated nature of the ground it might be expected to be preserved in some manner. Through a great part of Croy Hill the fosse has been cut through the solid whinstone RocK; shewing, in some places, that the fosse had been dispensed with on the outer side [b]. Some very feeble remains of the rampart, considered to be such [b] see Cal. Romana Page 333] from the turfy nature of the soil of which it is composed, and different from the RocKy bottom it stands upon. may be seen on the west of Arniebog (Trace 1-20-13) as represented on Trace. Very little of the Military Way remains, or the position of the site known. At Westerwood (Trace 1.20-13) the remains of a Fort are traceable, but they are very faint. - The Fosse or ditch presents, in this Parish five different appearances, and in order to insure the representation of it in its present state, consistent the different parts have been numbered on the Examination Traces, and the attached Index given to illustrate its varied appearance both on the ground, & on the Plan. The parts numbered 1, represent the faintest appearance, showing where the ground commences to fall towards the bottom. Throughout the Parish care has been taken to shew the exact width of the fosse as it at present remains as well as the depth and the breadth of the bottom - where it admits of being shewn. Those parts numbered 2 represent the hollow as being deeper than No. [Number] 1; No [Number] 3 has a better defined top, & is considered to be in tolerable preservation - the height from the bottom to the level of the top, averaging from 3 to 6 feet above the bottom of No [Number] 1. No. [Number] 4 is nearly equal to an ordinary cutting - on a Railway, for instance, but not so bold or regular on the top. No. [Number] 5 is a steep and well defined Cutting or slope and is the best part of the Ditch in the Parish. The Remains of the Fosse or Ditch, where it enters Cumbernauld Parish, on the eastern Boundary, coming from the Fort of Castlecary in FalkirK Parish , Stirlingshire , over the "Red Burn" (Trace 4.20.10), may be seen in excellent preservation at the bottom of the embankment for the viaduct of the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway. From the Burn to the point described all traces are effaced. From here to the Farm of Arniebog, the remains vary on the ground as represented on the Examination Traces. Upon the authority of the Farmer of Tollpark, James Forrester, with whom the portion above described, along with A. Kirkwood. Garnhall. & W. Chalmers Arniebog, was identified on the ground, the former found, about ten years ago, large freestones [c], wrought with a pick [c] See Cal. Romana Page 272] on the south side of the Fosse, in the field adjoining the Parish Road west of TollparK (Trace 3.20.13). A little distance west of Arniebog beside a P. [Parish] Road some traces of the Rampart are to be seen as described above. Through the lands of Westerwood and as far as the point where the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway again crosses the line of the Fosse as pointed out by the Farmer of Westerwood & William Stark. E. [East] Dullatur, the remains vary as represented, shewing it to have a marshy bottom at one part. & forming a pond for cattle near the same place; through the wood to the point crossed by the Railway the ditch forms a deep & wooded ravine, having a small stream running at the bottom. After crossing the Railway there is a pond at the foot of the embankment formed upon the Fosse, & the hollow is Slightly preserved a few feet on its n. [north] east side about where it crosses the margin line of the Trace. (6.xixa160 The traces are lost from the bottom of the Ry. [Railway] to the houses of E.[East] Dullatur. From here to the enclosures of Croy Hill, as shown on the authority of T. Duncan Esqr. & W. StarK, the remains are varied from the faintest to the representation of the best defined parts. At one part on W. [West] Dullatur lands the Pr. [Proprietor] shewed by digging a spade in the ground, on the top of the Fosse on the south Side, great numbers of dressed freestones about a foot square, but this part is in Cultivation & Shews nothing on the surface. Through the rough grounds of Croyhill, upon the same authorities, the field adjoining W. [West] Dullatur forms a marshy bottom in the Fosse. & through the whole of Croy Hill the Course of the ditch is very rough & cut through the solid rock in some places. Many natural hollows were no doubt made use of here. These are shewn on the Traces where admittable. On passing out of Croyhill & out of the Parish in direction of the Barhill Fort, in Kirkintilloch, the Track is indicated by a marshy piece of of ground in two places. Some natural indentations on, or near the margin of Trace 3.25-3 appear like the course of the wall but this is disagreed with by every one about. The ditch is unconnected from the west end of the grounds of Croy Hill, & is not again found until near the Ph. By. [Parish Boundary]. This is the worst part in the Parish.
OS1/9/5/27 STATION (Remains of) [Roman fort, Croy Hill] Remains of Fort Remains of Fort Remains of Fort Remains of Fort Caledonia Romana T. Allan. Westerwood William Chalmers. Arniebog William Stark. E. [Easter] Dullatur 020 "The next Station eastwards from Croy Hill is distant rather more than a mile and two thirds. Along this Section of the Fosse of Antoninus's Wall, the ground is comparatively low, with a slight declination to the north towards the level surface of the Dullatur Bog. The fort of Westerwood had been one of the third or weakest class; and but for the impassable swamps which must in ancient times have extended in front of its position. might be considered as one of the most exposed, along the wall, we may believe, however, that the marshes of Dullatur had afforded so certain a protection for at least a mile or two. in this neighbourhood, that the Station, such as it was, had proved amply sufficient for the purpose intended. The area of this Fort had measured about 370 by 320 feet, and was surrounded by a single rampart and ditch. In Gordon's time, the site of the Praetorium, near the centre of the inclosure was perfectly distinct; while, built in the cottages which then stood in its neighbourhood, he observed many fragments of Roman Sculpture - amongst others a very singular one of a style which we may suppose was not uncommon among the Lampsacenians of ancient Mysia. The Valla of this fort are now entirely levelled, and it does not appear that any other remains than the fragments mentioned by Gordon have ever been discovered in its vicinity" Caledonia Romana This, the 11th fort on the line of Wall numbering from the Clyde on the west (See Cal. [Caledonia] Romana page 367) including the Castellum or watch Tower in Cadder, and the supposed existence of a fort or Station on Croy Hill, is now almost obliterated. Its form however is traceable, and, with a slight exception on the remains of its southern side - numbered 2 on Examination Trace, the remains are about equal to the faintest parts of the Fosse - a perceptible hollow. ( See description & Index of the shades used for the Fosse in Name Sheet). Several dressed rough freestones taken from the ditch of this Fort, are to be seen lying in the Farm Yard of "Westerwood", and many similar stones are built into the Farm house. No Sculptured Stones, as mentioned in the Caledonia Romana, are to be seen here now. On coming near the Fosse of the Wall, the track of the north-east and north-west angles of this Fort are altogether levelled. It is well known in the locality as the "Camp". The west end of the Farm house cuts upon its east side near the Ditch of the R. [Roman] Wall. The Bog of Dullatur, which at one time would have protected this Fort, has been Cultivated for a considerable time, & the name of the Bog consequently lost, or not now retained to any part of the old bog lands of Dullatur.

[Wester] Dullatur 019 ; 020 "To the Southward of Antoninus's Wall was situated the Military Way - a Regular Causewayed road about 20 feet wide - which kept by the course of the wall at irregular distances, approaching in some places to within a few yards, and at others receding to a considerable extent". Caledonia Romana. Very Slight portions of the Military Way are to be seen in this Parish, & what has been pointed out as the remains or site of it appears doubtful in the absence of any regular causewayed remains to be seen on the ground. This description particularly refers to the present occupation Road on the Farm of Tollpark, (Trace 3.20.13) from the Parish Road to the Steading, which has at present, nothing more remarKable in its construction, or appearance, than an ordinary farm road. The father of the present farmer of Tollpark, James Forrester, however, states that the Causeway was in his time - about 40 years & better to be plainly seen at the part in question, as well as on both sides of it, at the same distance from the Roman wall, as far as Arniebog on the west (Trace 2.20.13), and connected with the existing remains at Garnhall, in the east. (Trace 4.20.10). In the arable fields between the Parish Road & Gamhall evident remains, in the shape of numerous small stones may be seen on the site of the Road at any time when the ground is ploughed over. Such stones are not to be seen at any other parts of the fields. On the east side of Garnhall detached portions of the Causeway are seen at irregular intervals in the road connected with the foot path joining the Road to Castlecary Railway Station. The path is known as being upon the Site but no remains are to be seen. The continuation of the M. [Military] Way going eastwards, into Falkirk Parish, is not known or traceable until in Falkirk. where it is generally understood to have a Parish Rd. [Road] formed upon it, & in that Parish, as well as Cumbernauld, the name it bears is the "Roman Road". On the authority of the Farmers of Arniebog, Tollpark & Westerwood, the Parish Road at the former (Arniebog) has been made upon the M. [Military] Way, but at present its appearance is like an ordinary Road. This Road runs parallel with the remains of the Fosse of the Roman Wall. /over [continued on page 30]

Stark & T. Allan. Westerwood. the remains of the Causeway appear for about a chain's distance, crossing a gap in a fence between two fields. No traces are to be seen between this part & the Arniebog Ph. [Parish] Road. Between this & Croy Hill no remains exist, though the Ph. [Parish] Road at Easter Dullatur is believed by a few to be on the line of the Road or M. [Military] Way. The authorities for this are the personal ones quoted, but the part is doubtful like that of the Road at Arniebog. in both of which cases it is Only surmised that these Roads are on the site of the M. [Military Way. On Croy Hill, where, from the rough rocky nature of the soil it might be expected to find the best preserved parts of the Road remaining; no traces whatever of a Causeway are to be seen. At two places on the rough pasture grounds of the Hill - at or near where it adjoins the lands of Easter Dullatur, & at the bottom of the Rampart (Trace 3.25-3) there appear tracks of a turfy soil for short distances, but, as before stated, no Traces of a Causeway exist. Through the Remaining part of the Parish, from Croy Hill to the western By. [Boundary] of the Pa[rish] there are no traces of the Military Way to be seen, nor does the site of it appear to be known.

OS1/9/5/54 STANDING STONE [Carrickstone] Standing Stone Standing Stone Standing Stone New Statl. [Statistical] Account Revd. [Reverend] Hugh Park Ph. [Parish] Minister Major Orr Dullatur House 025 "On the farm of Carrickstone or Carrigstone, on the rising ground nearly west of the church and a little to the south of the Roman Wall, there is a large stone called the Standing Stone. Though considerably larger than the Roman Altar stone at Nether Croy, it is of the same figure, and probably was used for the same purpose - that of an Altar. It has no inscription, nor any figure upon it. But it has a hole in it, and tradition says that this hole received the Standard of Robert the Bruce, then Earl of Carrick who here assembled his army before marching to the field of Bannockburn 24th June 1314, which decided the independence of Scotland. New Statistical Account. This Stone is about 4 ft. [feet] by 3 ft. [feet] and stands a little more than 4 feet in height. (Figure 3 Plate XIII - Cal. [Caledonia] Romana is a very near representation with the exception of the top, which is not the same the "Standing Stone" being broader and better shaped, but the hole in the top is the same as on the figure alluded to) The top of the stone is broader than the bottom in its ornamenting or shaping, & in the centre there is a cavity a few inches deep and about 8 in diameter. There is no inscription or traces of any figure or form having been upon it, but its shape, the appearance of the hole, & the stone itself are very like the Roman Altar at Nether Croy. During the last 40 years it stood at the top of Mainhead Plantation. This information was given by Major Orr only, but the time it was moved to its present position is not known. The general belief of the use this stone was put to is that it was a place of rendezvous for assembling troops &c. The Revd. [Reverend] Mr Park's opinion of its use is what the name denotes - a place of resting which in olden time would have been much in vogue for resting the dead upon on their way from this part of the Parish to the Isle burying ground near Kirkintilloch. This, when Cumbernauld & Kirkintilloch were one Parish named Lenzie, was, it is said, the only burying ground of the district. There is a want of proper information about this antiquity which cannot be obtained in the Parish. "Standing Stone" as a name should be retained as it is well known by the people. The stone stands on the line of a fence near an angle formed by another fence joining it.

[Parish] Schoolmaster 026 In 1649 a decree of of the Commissioners for the plantation of churches was obtained for dividing the Parish of Lenzie into two Parishes. The Church of the old Parish was deserted but the ruins of it with the burying ground are still extant about a mile south-east of the town of Kirkintilloch. The Virgin Mary's Chapel at Kirkintilloch became the Church of the western Parish, and a new church was built for the eastern Parish, in 1659, at Cumbernauld". Chalmers' Caledonia. "The Parish Church is an old building repaired in 1810 and containing 660 Sittings." Fullarton's Gazetteer The Incumbent of the Parish Church believes the present building to be, with the exception of the modern additions - the wing on the north side, and a part added to the west end, the first or original church of the Parish on its being erected out of Lenzie - the ancient name of Kirkintilloch & Cumbernauld, into a Separate Parish in 1649.

A description of the stone, with some other particulars bearing upon the probable connexion of the date being the same as the Church, were forwarded by the same authority - the Revd. [Reverend] H Park to the Herald Newspaper Office, where, by referring to the file for 1852 or 3, the account may be seen. The oldest Record of the Parish in possession of the Kirk Session is a Baptismal Register, which goes back as far as 1676, but there is nothing in this document with references to a second or new church being erected. The Minister's authority for the Church being the old or first church of the Parish, built in 1659, is particularly given by him as his belief that a part of the present church is the Old Church of Cumbernauld. The Schoolmaster of the Parish - W. Wilson, is of opinion that the present Church is not the first church of the Parish. There is nothing really authentic known of its age.

"Luggie (The), a rivulet of Lanarkshire, and the detached part of Dumbartonshire. Issuing from a small laKe on the Boundary between the Counties, near the south-east extremity of the Parish of Cumbernauld, it Runs 6½ miles westward along the boundary augmented in its Progress by four or five feeders from Lanarkshire." Fullarton's Gazetteer The Burn which comes through Glenhoof in New Monkland* is commonly considered the proper source of this Water, but as quoted from the Gazetteer & Co [County] Map, its proper head seems to be from the "Toddle Well", which is the head of the Stream running from that point along the Southern By. [Boundary] of this Parish. From the Toddle Well to "Rumblybugs" it is commonly called by the people " Toddle Burn", a name which properly belongs to the Spring or well as it is called, & has not therefore been written to the part described from its inconsiderable length.

(Trace 4. 26-7) about 40 years ago. The Caus'ey was not more than 3 chains long. and was called "Black Caus'ey". which is now well known & given to the improved or new road made at the time the Mill Road was altered. It is said upon the authority of J & R. Aitken that the Old Causeway may be seen a little below the surface. The name of the farm steading near the old causeway, on the north side, is supposed to be taken from this & not, as might be supposed, the Caus'ey name from the Steading. The"BlacK Cause'y is a well known and proper name, & should be retained. This portion of Causeway is the only probable part of the Roman Road, which coming from the South to the Fort at Castlecary, on the line of the Roman Wall, is said, on the authority of the New Statl. [Statistical] Account (which see) "may be seen in the map of Fannyside". This portion of Causeway could not be identified with the Roman Road, nor could any traces nor site of the same be identified at any part of the Moss, nor in the Parish of Cumbernauld.

Surfaceman James Gardiner Miller 026 A remarkable Knowe on Fannyside Muir through which the Turnpike Road to Airdrie cuts near the middle, leaving Steep cuttings on both sides of the Road. The bottom of this Knowe is sketched to show its extent as from the top or table of it being very small there is not room to write the name without encroaching considerably upon its eastern side. The Road cutting through near the middle also makes the writing of the name in its proper place difficult. It commences to fall, on the west side from the top of the cutting on the east side of the Road. East of this in the rough heathy pasture there are several smaller Knowes which do not bear any name. On the north side of Toddle Knowe, at the bottom, there is an artificial Cutting at present seeming like a Cutting for a Car TracK, but of which there is nothing known more than the name of the Knowe in the surrounding locality.
