Site of ROMAN CAMP (Supposed) [Easter Newport] Site of Roman Camp (Supposed) John Berry Esq. Tayfield.
Mr. Smith Factor Chapelhouse.
002 [Situation] Upwards of ½ a mile East of the Village of Easter Newport.
The site of this Roman Camp (supposed Roman) was pointed out to me by these two authorities. There is nothing known of it in the locality except its name. It is on the property of John Berry Esqr. of Tayfield.

[Note] From recent enquiry the following answer has been returned from the country. "David Maill of Newport and Andrew Gullane of Chesterhill both old men and natives of this place, say that they have always heard of a Roman Camp being here and they further state that it is currently believed throughout the parish that it was a Roman Camp. Human bones were, they say, found about the spot but they never heard of arms of any kind being found here." (signed) Thomas Smith C.A. [Civilian Assistant]
