| STATION (Remains of) (Continued) | Fort (Remains of) } Continued | 023 | [continued from page 87] the authority of two persons who have been in the place more than 50 years - Mr Wright, Duntocher & Mr Harvey. The latter has worked the ground in the entrenchment before it was partly filled in by improvements, and there can be little doubt that the remains they have pointed out, as represented on the Examination Trace, are those of the Station. No traces of the gateway or entrance on its southern face or other sides exist & only at one place - the north-west corner where the continuous Ditch of the Wall passes, are there any traces of the double entrenchment to be seen. No information has been obtained as to these remains which are at this corner overlooking the Roman Bridge. It is believed by the two personal authorities before quoted that this past has been untouched in their time - 50 years almost. The line of the great Ditch to "Duntocher Burn" below is not know, nor adopted upon authority although a faint hollow in the line with the north side of the Station, or of the Ditch on its north side, has been shewn to the place before described near to the "Roman Bridge". (See N. [Name] Sheet of Wall) To the south of the Church near the Bridge, & on the west of the Station and below it a bank, evidently an artificial [work] winds by the road side & encloses a small wood to its [south]. This is, upon the authority of the 1st, 2d & 4th persons quoted, believed to have been connected with the Station adjoining, or made at the same time, but its object cannot be understood from the great difference of height of the Station immediately above it on the Golden Hill. No traces of the Military Way are to be found through the Fort of Duntocher at the present time. |
