"The name of this parish is compounded of Cil, the Gaelic word for a church, & the name of the patron saint of Ireland. Tradition says that he was born in the parish. This is doubted: but still it must be confessed, that, if this be not the birthplace of Saint Patrick, it is difficult to account for the name of the parish, & for many traditions in regard to his character & doings, which have been handed down for generations in the neighborhood.
"The parish is situated in the South-East of the County of Dumbarton, bounded on the South by the River Clyde, which separate it from RenfrewShire; on the west by the parish of Dumbarton; on the East by the parish of New Kilpatrick; & on the North by the parish of Killearn in Stirlingshire"

OLD KILPATRICK [Parish] (Continued) |
|
|
|
[continued from page 1]
One half or rather more of the area of the parish from the northern boundary downwards is occupied by the Kilpatrick hills or Braes. The parish is remarkable for the number of its Villages, and the extent of its manufactures, existing in the absence of anything which can with propriety be called a town, & are richly provided with facilities of communication. All the smaller steamers which ply on the Clyde are at their service offering conveyance every hour of the day. The Forth & Clyde Canal passes thro' [through] the parish terminating at Bowling Harbour. The Glasgow, Dumbarton & Helensburgh Railway passes through the parish from East to West. The line of the Roman Wall is traceable as far West as Sandyford near Old Kilpatrick. There were two stations on the wall in this Parish at Chapel Hill & Duntocher no traces of that at Chapel Hill exist.
There are no detached portions in this parish, nor is there any portion of any other parish contained within the boundary of this parish. |

Both names have been adopted on the Plans - the one "Dumbar", at the particular desire of the proprietor, & the other, "Barwood Hill", from its wide popularity which the proprietor also agrees to as a proper name from custom. |

The place pointed out as his & his men's hiding place, which is called "Wallace's Cave" upon the authorities opposite, is a wooded hollow on the top between a small ledge of rock & the main or steep rock falling to the road below. The hollow would easily conceal one or two hundred men & commands Dumbarton Castle too. |

This name in proper English means the craig of resting. It applies from the ridge or craig running from the ◬ [trigonometrical] Pole, on trace 2, to the south of Loch Humphrey, to the craig about the centre of this Trace. The lower craig, which follows the course of the Dike at north west margin, has little if any regular rocks falling to the south, but it is called a craig from its under surface being a rock. This part belongs to the Estate of Auchentorlie the property of Mr. Buchanan. |

"The ruins of Dunglass Castle" have long been regarded as resting on the foundations of a Roman Fort; perhaps they do, in reality, occupy the site of one of the ancient Castella; but that any traces of Roman Masonry are still to be found there, as is sometimes averred, we must be permitted very much to doubt. Between this spot and the village of Kilpatrick, the high lands approach so closely to the north bank of the river, that it must have cost the Roman soldiery much unceasing vigilance to prevent the natives from crossing it at any of the numerous fords which are supposed to have existed above Dunglass; from this circumstance, it is by no means unlikely that some additional Forts may have stood between that rocky point & the termination of the wall" - the "Chapel Hill"

"In the Churchyard is a monumental stone to which tradition has affixed the name of St. Patrick. It is however the sculptured effigy of an armed Knight, & from the style of execution, of the 14th century. It has no inscription, but it may be very plausibly assigned to some one of the Knightly race of Colquhoun"
N [New] Statl. [Statistical] Account.
"In a burying place in the church yard, there is a stone of great antiquity, with a figure said to be that of St. Patrick upon it, & some go so far as to assert that he was buried there." Old Statl. [Statistical] Account.
The above is all that is known of this Tomb, which the people call "St. Patrick's" & the personal authorities quoted know the tradition as well as the more likely origin of the figure of the armed knight - from the Colquhouns of this part of the country. "St. Patrick" as a name in connexion with this Tomb is considered too well known & too well established by custom to omit mentioning along with the antiquity of the figure or tomb. The enclosure within which the figure lies at full length is as stated by the Revd. [Reverend] Mr Reid, the old burying place of the Colquhouns of Edinbarnet. |

"The actual length of the Wall of of Antoninus has given rise, like most antiquarian subjects, to no little controversy. According to Bede, it extended all the way from the ancient monastery of Abercorn to Dumbarton. A series of detached Castella may very probably have connected its actual termini with both those points; but, from what is known to have been at any time visible of its remains, and from any discoveries made between the two seas, we cannot but conclude that the Vallum of Urbicus, as a continuous work, had ended on the one side at Carriden near Borrowstoness, & on the other at West Kilpatrick. Upon this supposition the entire length of the work was about twenty seven English miles - With regard to those garrison posts which united the supposed extremity of the Wall with the town of Theodosia, we learn that, in the year 1686, Dr. [Doctor] Irvine observed as follows - At the town of Dumbarton, the remains of a great Roman fort - the vestiges of another at the Castle, half a mile distant - those of a third at the foot of Dumbuck hill, a mile more to the East - of a fourth at Dunglass - and of a fifth on the Chapel Hill, at West Kilpatrick, which was, we conceive, the last of the Stations per lineam valli. He makes no mention of any traces of the ditch as being visible between that point & the river Level; nor can we believe that such had ever existed &c &c - That early explorer, Pont, has most distinctly stated that the Wall had its commencement near the Kirk of Kilpatrick, from which the Chapel Hill is but a short way distant. In this opinion Roy & several others coincide. It does not appear that any distinct remains of the Roman works have ever in modern times, been

visible about West Kilpatrick. In that as in several other localities, the settlement of a considerable population, and the consequent spread of agriculture have, no doubt, been the principal causes of their entire dissapearance. Occasionally, however - as if to present from age to age some fresh memorials of the Roman Era - the operations of the husbandman have there been productive of, to him, unlooked for results, in exposing to view the fragments of ancient buildings, scattered underground, and sculptures of singular appearance, expressive of other times - to be heard of only in most remote tradition. But owing to the entire demolition of its remains, before the attention of any antiquarian author had been attracted towards the spot, we can say nothing of the form, size, or construction of that one, among the Stations erected by Urbicus, which looked down, it is said, from the Chapel Hill of Kilpatrick on the once 'silver current' of the Clyde. We must therefore be satisfied with a passing glance at the presumed evidences of its former existence, to be met with in those monumental records of their labours which the soldiery of the Roman legions had abandoned on their retreat." Cal. [Caledonia] Romana Ps. [Pages] 284-[5]
Chapel Hill is well known as the site of a Roman Station on the Wall of Antoninus, & by the county people the entire hill is believed to be artificial from the soil of which it is composed being sandy. A steep, well defined slope, with fir trees upon it, encloses the south side of the hill, which on its rem[aining] sides mingles naturally with the grounds adjoining. The Hill is not of any remarkable height above the ground it adjoins exc[ept] on the south. "A portion of its base", as stated in the Cal. [Caledonia] Romana, "was removed in the year 1790, in excavating the line of the Forth & Clyde Canal, when a subterranean recess, containing a number of earthen vases & Roman coins, was laid open". This probably accounts for the steep bank on the side adjoining the canal. There is not an artificial appearance about the Chapel Hill except this. No part of the Hill is known or remarkable as the place where the coins were found. No Traces of the Ditch of the Wall itself are seen 'till at the field Sandyford - a mile & better east of the Station. |

"For the last two hundred and 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 if 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. (P. [Page] 270) - This great Military 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 & dale, in one unbroken line from sea to sea. Behind this ditch, on its southern side, and within a few feet of its edge, 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 twentyfour 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 to within a few yards, and in others receding to considerable distance. Along the entire line, from 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. Calculating by those whose remains have been plainly perceptible, the mean distance between each may be stated at rather more than two English miles. 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 continuous rampart seems to have been little more than a well formed earthen mound, it is probable that many, if not all of the Stations, were either 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 & marshy, and where it was necessary to form drains beneath the works to prevent the accumulation of water on their interior side. Roy supposes the ditch to have constituted the chief strength of the whole, & 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 remembered, 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 that of the other." Caledonia Romana 278 & 279.
The Remains of the great Ditch of the Roman Wall, throughout Old Kilpatrick Parish, are fast dissapearing, & what still exist are much disconnected & broken from the continuous line of the hollow track. In some parts it is still tolerably deep, particularly what remains of its south side, on the farm of Cleddans before it crosses Cleddans Burn going in direction of the Castlehill Station by Hutcheson Hill. in N. [New] Kilpatrick. It is also in good preservation as it ascends to the Fort on the "Golden Hill" at Duntocher.

Roman Wall Continued
[continued from page 83]
From the Station at Duntocher to the
termination at the Chapel Hill Station -
the last of the Wall Stations, as it is called by the best writers on
the subject, the track of the Ditch is generally faint on the Farms
of Auchentoshan Carleith & N. [North] Dalnotter, and the connection or continuation is entirely obliterated from the field at Sandyford
to Chapel Hill - a distance of nearly a mile. The general belief among the people is that the wall was
continued to "Dunglass Castle" on the Clyde. Of the Military Way in this Parish there is little known. Some traces of what
appears to be remains of it from its distance from the line of wall - the Ditch, are found when ploughing
on the farms of Braidfield & Auchentoshan. At Sandyford a part of the regular Causeway was found
about six years ago in clearing away an old T.P. [Turn Pike] Road, which appears to have been on the Military Way.
It is not known by tradition or otherwise in the locality what course or line the Military Way took westwards, from the
termination of the Wall at Chapel Hill, to the Roman Town on the Leven at Dumbarton, which, it is
said by some writers, was protected by a chain of Forts. Not a single Station between Chapel
Hill & Dumbarton has been identified, nor is anything known of the sites of such to the oldest
& most respectable authorities in the Parish. In the "Romana" Page 282 with reference to the
termination of the Wall, and, of the line of Forts which protected the communication between Chapel
Hill Station & the Roman Town on the Leven at Dumbarton, it says, "It has been already
remarked, that the consecutive works of the Wall terminated, in all probability, at West Kilpatrick. The narrow
belt of land which lies between that village & the mouth of the river Leven was certainly by no means well calculated
for the position of such an entrenchment - overlooked as it is, for a great part of the distance, by a range of
considerable heights, which at some points, encroach very closely upon the River Clyde. The low grounds
immediately around Dumbarton Castle were, no doubt, at the distant end of the Roman occupation, either
entirely submerged, or liable to be so with every tide; even within these few centuries the rock was
frequently surrounded by water; from which we may conclude that in ancient times the alluvial plain
between Dumbarton & Dunglass was entirely of a marshy character, & incapable of being traversed by
a continuous ditch and rampart. It would appear, however, that along this plain the Romans had
constructed a line of detached Forts; doubtless with the double object of securing the passage of the
river, & of protecting the line of communication between their municipal town on the Leven, & the
mural Station of West Kilpatrick. With regard to those garrison posts which united the supposed
extremity of the Wall with the town of Theodosia, we learn that, in the year 1686, Dr. [Doctor] Irvine observed
as follows: - At the Town of Dumbarton, the remains of a great Roman Fort - the vestiges
of another at the Castle, half a mile distant - those of a third at the foot of Dumbuck Hill (in Old Kil[patrick])
a mile more to the last - of a fourth at Dunglass - and of a fifth on the Chapel Hill, at West
Kilpatrick, which was we conceive the last of the Stations per lineam valli. He makes no
mention of any traces of the ditch as being visible between that point & the River Leven; nor can we
believe that such had ever existed, notwithstanding what Bishop Gibson states in his edition of Camden;
where it is roundly asserted, without any attempt at proof, that the Wall had been continued as far as Dumbarton.
Not a vestige now remains either of these Forts or of the Military Way which passed in their vicinity; although, about
[continued on page 85] |

[Page] 85
County Dumbarton -- Old Kilpatrick Parish
Remains of Roman Wall continued
[continued from page 84]
about a century ago, some portion of the
latter was visible on the grounds of Glenarback, within half a mile
of Dunglass. The present Turnpike Road passes, most probably, very
near to what was the line of the Via". From the following statement there would appear to have been Stations or Forts
between that of Chapel Hill & Dunglass of which there is nothing now known - at least in the neighborhood. "The ruins
of Dunglass Castle have long been regarded as resting upon the foundations of a Roman Fort, perhaps they do, in reality, occupy the
site of one of the ancient Castella; but that any traces of Roman masonry are still to be found there, as is sometimes averred,
we must be permitted very much to doubt. Between this spot & the village of Kilpatrick, the high lands approach so closely
to the north bank of the river, that it must have cost the Roman Soldiery much unceasing vigilance to prevent the natives from
crossing it at any of the numerous fords which are supposed to have existed above Dunglass; from this circumstance, it is by no
means unlikely that some additional forts may have stood between that rocky point and the termination of the Wall."
One of those Tumuli, which, in the words of the author of the Caledonia Romana, "Some authors, however -
Professor Anderson among the rest - have been inclined to discover (as) the remains of Agricola's Forts in a number
of artificial mounds situated at some distance beyond the Wall", is spoken of as being upon the banks of a
stream called "Cresswick Water", which flows from the heights to the westward of Kilpatrick" (Page 283) "It was
of a circular form, 60 feet in height; and was, at the distance of a few hundred yards completly overlooked, if not
altogether commanded, by the adjoining hills". There is not a stream in Kilpatrick known as "Cresswick Water"
to any Proprietor, Agent, or resident between Kilpatrick village & the western Boundary of the Parish near to Dumbarton.
A small insignificant streamlet flows from Glenarbuck - the first west of Kilpatrick village, but it bears no name;
the next is "Auchentorlie Burn", at Littlemill or Bowling; and the last, of consequence, excepting "Garshake Burn", the
Parish Boundary, is "Milton Burn". None of these streams have ever borne the name of Cresswick Water so
far as can be ascertained from the Proprietors & the Factors who have or would have some recollection of such
a name from the Title Deeds if, as might be, the name had been changed in the course of time. Unless the
the "Remains of the supposed ancient Watch Tower" on Dumbowie, at the back of Dumbuck, be the Tumulus
referred to, there is not another in the Parish in any way answering the description given; and the height of the
Mound on "Dumbowie", as well as its being "commanded by the adjoining hills, & situated on the banks of a stream"
will not answer the description either. "Dumbowie" (Traces 1 & 4. 22-7) is not commanded nearer than the
"Lang Craig" to the north (22-3 & 7). This Tumulus was, upon the authority of the 'Romana, seen by Gordon
about the year 1726. ___ No distinct traces of the Chapel Hill Station exist at the present time (1861) although
it is, by the Country people, regarded as artificial from the sandy nature of the soil it is composed of. It has not
the appearance of an artificial mound or hill. A steep well defined slope bounds & encloses the south side of the hill, which is
gives it an artificial look. In 1790 when excavating the base of Chapel Hill for the Forth & Clyde Canal a subterranean
recess, as stated in the Romana, was found containing a number of earthen vases and Roman coins. There is no spot
known on the site of the Station as remarkable for anything being discovered. At Sandyford a Stone upon the authority
of the Old Statl: [Statistical] Account, was used as a foot bridge over the Burn there. It is now in the garden of Mountblow, where,
as stated by Mr Patterson of Mountblow, it was removed to about a century ago by a former Proprietor - Provost Donald. The old
Statistical Account compares it to the obelisks near Brechin, called the Danish Stones of Aberlemno; and in the "Origines Parochiales"
it is called a Sculptured Cross. The Stone is upwards of 6 feet high & is sunk some length in the ground to support it as it stands
upright. In breadth it is about 18 inches or 2 feet. On the Farm of Auchentoshan, in an enclosure called the "Ocean
Field", remains, particularly of Roman Pottery, have been found, and this field is well known to the country
people as the place where Roman remains have been found. A little to the East of the Ocean Field a Stone Coffin was
discovered at the place marked on the Examination Trace, as pointed out by Mr. Wright, Duntocher, and the Skull of the Skeleton, which

Remains of Roman Wall} Continued
[continued from page 85]
the coffin contained, Remained in the office of the
Milton Mill of Duntocher for a long time. It was
there about 30 or 40 years ago. Mr Wright, Mr Barr of Milton Mill & Mr McGowan
of Auchentoshan Farm, are the authorities upon which the "Ocean Field" , as the place where Roman Pottery was found, is adopted. Near the
Fort of Duntocher several Roman Remains have been brought to light at different times; of which the Querns found in
digging the foundation of the Church (Quod Sacra); the Legionary Stone; and the vault, near the "so-called Roman Bridge",
at the places marked on the Examination Trace, as pointed out by Mr Wright, are the whole of what appears to be
Known with the places they were discovered. Mr Barr's authority given for the Querns at the Church only is also
quoted for Pirns being found there too, but no other authority mentions Pirns being found at this place. The New Statistical
Account states that "Roman Querns have often been found in the adjacent places. One was found in digging the foundation of a new Church in connection with the establishment." The Legionary Stone as stated by Mr Wright was taken to the Museum in Glasgow. The vault
upon the last authority, who has the story from a Grandsire and who considers that it must be about from 70 to 90 years since it
was found, was not above the height of a man; to the best of his recollection the walls were smooth, and a few burnt sticks were scattered over the floor, which was earthen. This was believed, Mr Wright says, to be a Roman work, but unless it be the Sudatorium (a bath)
described in the Caledonia Romana (P. [Page] 299), there is nothing in the Accounts of the place to correspond with
the information obtained on the ground. It says "In one part of the Sudatorium the floor was supported by 144 square
pillars of brick of a beautiful pale red the under ones being 8, & the upper ones 21 inches square. On the top of these, as at
Inveresk, was spread a layer of lime mixed with gravel, 5 inches in thickness." Other circular vaults are mentioned at Duntocher
in the Romana, "about 4½ feet deep & 10 in diameter; the walls and floor were of hewn stone the roof of bricks;
and what says a good deal both for the skill of the builder and the strength of the cement employed, this ceiling was not arched, but
perfectly flat." An individual who, it says in the last authority - the Romana, was the first to venture into this vault, was alive
in 1844, but no information of this person could be obtained. Besides the objects mentioned about the Roman Bridge &
the Station above it, there was a "Small Votive Altar", as it is called in the 'Romana, which was built into the gable end of the
Miller's house adjoining the Bridge. The mill and dwelling are now away parts of the ruins still stand on the north-west of the Bridge.
What became of the Stone can't be ascertained in the locality. The well known "Roman Bridge" as it is called is regarded by the
author of the Romana, as well as by Genl. [General] Roy "as a work of later times - built most probably, with the stones which had been taken from the ruins of the adjoining Station". Traces of the Station are still discernible as represented after the manner of the [ ]
Ditch of the Wall. To the South-East of the Station, on the Farm of Broadfield, another Leg: [Legionary] Stone was found as stated in the Romana but there is nothing known of it in the place. ___ The hollow of the Fosse or Ditch of the Roman Wall in this Ph. [Parish] presents four distinct appearances at the present time (1861), the deepest of which is about equal to an ordinary cutting, but not as regular & defined on the top. Care has been taken in the representation to show as accurately as can be the actual width now occupied by the hollow. Generally, in the Parish there is not much known of the course of the Ditch where it is in any way faint. This occurs between the Station of Duntocher & the Roman Bridge, and to the north west of the village where it is faint & lost sight of for some distance. At Sandyford too the very slight track shewn is authorized upon that of an old Tenant now away from the place - Where the Remains of the great Ditch crosses the "Cleddans Burn" on the Eastern Boundary of the Parish, coming from the Station on Castlehill, & over Hutchison Hill in New Kilpatrick Parish, the Traces of the South side of the Ditch are very steep as it passes along a ridge falling to the old road on the north side below. From this point to the Station of Duntocher on the Golden Hill, as pointed out in parts by Messrs Morton, Miller & Harvey, the hollow varies as represented in one part becoming disconnected. At one part of that described on the Farm of Broadfield, the line of the Military Way is found by unusual quantities of stones in the fields on both sides of the road which joins the old road, to the south of the Ditch, coming from the East side of Braidfield farm. Parts of the Fosse as well as the trenches of the Fort on the Golden Hill, were, as stated by Messrs Harvey & Wright, so steep about 30 years ago that the Ditch was wrought in drills with the spades. Some remains of what appears to have been a double rampart & Ditch, is to be seen at the north-west angle of the Fort in a plantation on the line of the Ditch, which as stated in the Cal. [Caledonia] Romana, was, according to Gordon, protected by two ramparts, which a ditch between them - i.e. the Fort. From this corner of the Fort the north-west to the Roman Bridge, a faint hollow is observable down the hill, at the bottom of which, there are trees adjoining the dwelling house beside the Bridge An authority has been found for this portion which Mr Wright says was at one time a fence with a deep drain or ditch, but from its appearance & its direction agreeing with the line on the top of the Hill it has been adopted [ ] on the track. The Caledonia Romana says it is doubtful where the exact place was that it crossed Dalmuir Burn - properly "Duntocher Burn", as it is authorized. Through the houses of Duntocher it is lost of course, but as stated by Mr Wright the hollow was visible some 40 years ago before they were built, & in the Titles of some of the Fues near, the properties have been described as bounded by this "[Saugh] ditch". The track of the Fosse is again seen to the north-west of the R.C. [Roman Catholic] Chapel on the north side of an old road, and is more or less visible to the field of Sandyford where the last remains are traceable in the Parish in direction of the Fort on Chapel Hill. This position is shewn upon the authorities of Messrs McGowan, Black & Bowman. As stated by Mr. McGowan of Auchentoshan a portion of the Military Way remains are found to the north west of his Farm house at the west corner of the plantation and to the south of the Ditch. At Sandyford about six years ago while clearing away the old T.P. [Turn Pike] Road to the north of the present Road, a portion of the Causeway of the Military Way described by Mr. Findlay, Schoolmaster, was discovered laid together compact a little below the surface. A Tree in the hollow of the Old Road, which leaves a hollow very similar to the track of the Ditch, is opposite the spot where the causeway was found in the Road which runs northwards to the farm of Mountblow. The course of the great Ditch westwards of the Sandy ford was continued to the south of & close to three Ash trees which stand in a field of Mount Pleasant, at the angle formed by a fence & a paling below the Trees . No person in the Parish knows the course it took from the Trees to the Chapel Hill Station, the last of the Forts of the Wall. Persons of 80 years & upwards in the place referred to for information do not know it to Chapel Hill

"The Fort of Duntocher was situated upon the rising ground which overlooks the Church, and that questionable piece of antiquity called the Roman Bridge. As usual, the position is excellent, affording a fair view of the country on every side, and completely commanding the point where the neighbouring rivulet formerly wound its way through the line of the Wall. Gordon represents this fort as being, about the year 1725, in a tolerably distinct condition. He describes it as an inclosure nearly square, protected by two ramparts, with a ditch between them, and having a single gateway in the centre of its southern face; but, singular enough, he carries the continuous entrenchment of the Wall directly through the Station, instead of placing it along the northern side. Horsley corrected this mistake, and discovered a second entrance in the Eastern rampart - issuing from which, a small branch road proceeded, according to his account, to join the main Causeway, whose slightly elevated ridge passed at the distance of a few yards to the south of the Station. According to Roy, the fort of Duntocher was of an oblong form - measuring within the area about 450 by 300 feet; when he visited it, however, the ramparts were so much dilapidated that their actual size & shape could with difficulty be ascertained". Caledonia Romana.
The Hill upon which this Station is situated, is known as the "Golden Hill" in the locality. The remains are generally very indistinct, but still traceable, particularly on the south side, which is partly natural on the inner side of the entrenchment. As late as between 30 & 40 years ago part of the eastern side, along with the Fosse of the Wall adjoining the station on the same side, was, from its steepness, wrought with the Spade. This information is given upon

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. |

"As to the well known bridge in that quarter, (Duntocher) which has been so generally taken notice of as a specimen of Roman architecture, what shall be said? It may appear a species of sacrilege to insinuate anything against the current opinion of its antique origin; yet, notwithstanding the general belief, & Lord Blantyre's inscription set up to confirm it, we must agree with Roy in regarding it as a work of later times - built, most probably with the stones which had been taken from the ruins of the adjoining Station. Recent alterations have so changed the appearance of this bridge, that almost nothing of its ancient character remains; the only traces of the original masonry to be observed must be looked for from under the arches, in which position the visitor may yet distinguish the older portion from the new. We should say that the so-called Roman Bridge may very probably date its origin from the time of King Robert Bruce - built, perhaps, while he had his hunting seat in the neighbourhood of Dumbarton, and was a frequent resident in that part of the country." Caledonia Romana.
"Near the Station of Duntocher there is a Roman Bridge over the Duntocher Burn, which though it has often been repaired, still retains strong marks of antiquity" - Old Statl. [Statistical] Account

[continued from page 90]
"At Duntocher there is a bridge called Roman, but it it is considered by some of the best antiquarians to have no greater claim to such high antiquity than that the materials may have been afforded by the neighbouring Fort. Others however are inclined to support the antiquity of the Bridge. Its appearance is much in favour of an ancient date. Beside it there is a stone with an insciption, bearing that the bridge was repaired in 1772 by Lord Blantyre and also stating that it was built by Adrian, which proves what was the current opinion at the time of erecting the stones."

The above descriptions &c. of this Bridge are all that can be given. As a well-known name used by all classes of people in the Country to the Bridge, it is authorized without any opinion of the personal authorities quoted, being given of its antiquity. On the north-west of the Bridge a stone with an Inscription in Latin is erected. (Quote if required the translation which is given on Trace from Slater's Dictionary) |

"At Sandyford near the village of Kilpatrick before the Road was repaired, & before a bridge for horses & carriages was built over the burn there, a large stone, supposed to have been an obelisk, intended to commemorate some remarkable event, had been taken from near the Roman Wall, where it is said it had stood & was used by the country people as a bridge for foot passengers. It is now in possession of Mr Donald of Mountblow and resembles the ancient obelisks near Brechin called the Danish stones of Aberlemno."

"In the garden of Mountblow, the residence of W. Dunn Esq. there is a monumental cross. It is of the style so prevalent in the West of Scotland especially in Cantyre & the Hebrides, of the twelfth century." New Statl [Statistical] Account.
Upon the authority of Mr Patterson of Mountblow this stone is the same that was over the Burn at Sandyford, which was removed & placed in the garden of Mountblow at the time mentioned on the other side - a century ago, by a former proprietor, Provost Donald. |
