Greig Mr Robertson (Chapel) Estate Plan 1811 030 [situation] 1¾ Miles N.E. by E. [North East by East] of Kelty. Mr. Greig and several other intelligent persons State that this Camp Stood around the present farm-house of Chapel, and that in his early days he Could trace the outer Fosse distinctly which is partly Visible yet in the rich and hollow appearance of the Soil. Mr. Bayley the Factor for Lochore estate Says that about twenty years ago he was with Sir Walter Scott at Lochore when a Mr. Birrell who was then eighty years of age pointed out the Site of the Camp to Sir Walter. The Writer of the Descriptive Atlas of Scotland Page 222 Date 1842. Description continued on the other side [on next page]
OS1/13/7/53 [page] 53 Parish of Ballingry Trace 4 [Quotation] "At Lochore ten miles from the Frith, there was a Roman Camp, which antiquaries Suppose, with great reason, to have been the same Camp, where the gallant Horestii attacked the Ninth legion of Agricola. This Camp which we have seen, was pitched among the Strongest forts of the Horestii, appears to have been afterwards Converted into a permanent Station; as its remains Show it to have been secured, by three Ramparts, with their accompanying fosses. Of the existence of a Roman Camp at Lochore on the North west side, there cannot be a doubt. The proprietor of Lochore, having Cut drains under the Camp, found Several Roman Antiquities." Chalmers Caledonia page 168. "This Camp is Situated on the North Side of Lochore, less than half a mile S. [South]west from Lochore House, in the parish of Ballingry, in Fife. It form is nearly Square. The total circumference of it is about 2020 feet. On the side towards the Loch, there is a round turret, analogous to those at the Roman Camp on Barnswick hill." Chalmers Caledonia page 118.
OS1/13/7/54 SITE OF ROMAN CAMP [Continued] in his decription of Ballingry says "Here was once a Roman Camp of which only a Slight Vestige remains near the Steading of the Chapel farm." A little to the Westward of Lochore house were the vestiges of a Roman Camp now levelled and effaced. Some have conjectured that this was the spot where the ninth legion was attacked and nearly cut off by the Caledonians. Fullartons Gazetteer page 97.
OS1/13/7/54 [page] 54 [Notes: "Some think the Station or Camp of the Ninth legion was where the town of Falkland now Stands. Ptolomy mentioneth Arrea in Vennicontibus, whom the learned Gordon of Straloch makes the ancient inhabitants of this Shire: but the name Arrea Seemeth to point at the loch and water of Or, in the middle of this shire. It is certain that at the end of that Loch, about an old Chapel, there are trenches to be seen yet." Sibbald's Fife & Kinross page 31 Of the existence of a Roman Camp at Lochore, on the northwest, there Cannot be a doubt. The proprietor of Lochore having cut drains under the Camp found several Roman Antiquities. Chalmers Caledonia Page 168. "The Horestii having watched the proceedings of the Roman Army made the necessary preparations for attack, and during the night delivered a furious assault on the Roman entrenchments at Loch Ore". Brown's History of the Highlands page 20 published 1849. "No Vestige remains of the Roman Camp Said to have been in this parish. Near its Site is now the Steading of the Chapel Farm." New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] "It has been conjectured, with much probability, that this was the Spot where the Ninth Legion was attacked, and nearly cut off, by the Caledonians, as we have it narrated by Tacitus, in his life of Agricola.The present proprietor of Lochore, in prosecuting the plan of clearing the Loch, having occasion to cut some ditches immediately under the Camp, the workmen have dug up several antiquities which are evidently Roman particularly the head of a Roman Spear. Just by the Camp is a Village called Blair, which in the Original, is Said Signify locus Ragnae, or a place where a battle has been fought." Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account]
