020.06 | This intrenchment is near the Summit of Drumslead Hill, on the top of a steep slope which over looks the Valley or Road below The people speak of it as the Scotch Camp. - Mr Annandale Factor Monboddo House states, thet he remembers the present wood being planted, and that before the ground was planted, the Intrenchment formed a very conspicuous feature,and commanded an extensive view, that there was no appearance of any formation of a Camp visible, only the line of Intranchment as shewn.- There is a circular hole at the South end which has evidently been a well or reservoir. It is about 6 feet in diameter and considerably deeper than the entrenchment. - The ground is now thickly planted and it was only by cutting off the Boughs of the trees that the intrenchment could be surveyed.- By what party the intrenchment was constructed is mere conjecture, In a Military point of view this Hill is the Key of the Roman Camp below, and when the Romans held the Camp they would evidently hold the Hill as an outpost, and it is very probable that the intrenchment was made by the Romans. |
