| STATION (Site of) (Continued) | Site of Fort (Continued | 023 | [continued from page 53] Station, within the narrow plantation, is very correct. Everyone in the locality knows the Site, but of the "traces of the ramparts in certain inequalities of the ground" (mentioned in the Romana) "which are slightly perceptible", none of the authorities can give information, nor is there anything in the place, where the "inequality" may be seen, of a regular form to rely upon as remains of the works. The place where a hollow appearance is to be seen, is between the trigl. [trigonometrical] Station on the top of the hill & a short way southward to the edge of the plantation. It is very slight & doubtful. The east side of the plantation or the Fort contains numbers of stones lying loosely about which appear to have belonged to the Wall & the works connected. Many of those stones have the chequered marks of a pick as described in the Cal. [Caledonia] Romana at "Peel Glen". On the outer side of the Plantation & close to it on the side - the ea[st where] the steading of Castlehill stand[s -] numbers of stones have been taken out at times by the farmer - Mr. Alexander, but not the least trace of anything is to be seen now on the surface of the ground either here or at any part of the Station of Castelhill. |
