[page] 1a Parish of CleishNote: "Upon several of the hills there are
the remains of forts, which appear to have been
constructed with a great deal of labour. They are Supposed
to have been the work of the romans, and to have formed part
of a chain of posts, running from East to West, intended to defend
their Conquests against the incursions of the people from the North.
They are found in four places of the parish. The most remarkable of these is upon
the top of Dumglow the highest hill in the parish." Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account]
Note: "From Benartie, a mile and a half, commences the range of Cleish hills, upon four different summits, on each whereof the Horestii had a fastness, which had been constructed with great labour, they have been mistaken for Roman works, which are quite different, in their location, and construction. In the low grounds, Northwards from this hill, there were discovered, in 1791, a number of Sepulchral urns, Containing Ashes, human bones with Charcoal; these were doubtless, Roman as they were not covered with tumuli; and were of better workmanship, that that of the Britons."
