Lanark Dalziel Parish Continued :- Hamilton Road, The principal antiquities in this Parish are the Roman Road called Watlin or Watling Street, The remains of a Roman camp on the banks of the Clyde & the old Towerhouse of Dalzell [ell is double underlined], near which is an Ancient Stone Cross. A Roman Bridge on the of the Roman Road , is thought to be of great antiquity. It is over the "South Calder Water". The principal Proprietor in this Parish is Captain Hamilton of Dalzell [ell is double underlined], M.P. whose estate, from which the Parish takes it's name , is now spelled differently both by himself and his Agents, but upon Captain Hamilton's authority it is done more from custom than preference of spelling. [There is a further note which reads: Note: There is not any portion of the Parish of Dalziel detached within any other Parish; but there is a detached portion of Hamilton Parish contained within the bounds of this Parish] The present mode of spelling the Parish name seems to be the modern as the Church Records from 1644 ( the oldest in the possesssion of the Parish) to 1797, spell it as Captain Hamilton's Estate is spelt.

There is some confusion about the application of this name from its point of junction with the new line, or improvement, of the Wishaw & Coltness Section, which takes place in Hamilton Parish, & the continuation of both lines ( the Clydesdale Junction & the new line) to the junction with the old Wishaw & Coltness which comes into the railway station. Before the new line was made the "Clydesdale Junction" must have applied as far as its junction with the "Wishaw & Coltness Section" at the railway Station & on account of this , the name has been written ("Clydesdale Junction") from the point where it re-enters the parish (Trace 3 012) to its junction with the other line at the railway station of Motherwell.

It entered a place called "Meadowhead" near Wishaw Gate. The present road from Glasgow to Lanark by Carluke, has been here for a considerable way formed upon it.(This sentence all underlined). At the north west bdy[boundary ] of the parish, there is a bridge over the river Calder , evidently of great antiquity, and which from time immemorial has been called the "Roman Bridge" by which the people entered the Parish of Bothwell" - New Statistical Account. This road where it begins in the parish at the Roman Bridge( Trace 6 011-012) shews the remains of the causeway at almost every yard, particularly near the bridge, by some of the stones , which are generally about 6 or 8 inches square but not of regular shape, still remaining firmly fixed in the ground and shewing the hollows or holes of those displaced, as far as the angle which it forms, where the Parish Boundary deviates from the side of the R[Roman]Road,( Trace 4 011-09). Trees are growing on its sides at some places. All traces of it are lost on the Bothwell side near the Roman Bridge. In Bothwell Parish it is better known as "Mitchell's Causey" but in Dalziel it is known as the "Roman Road". From the last point described - where the PH BY [Parish Boundary] deviates from ther R[Roman]Road, to the farm of North Motherwell (Trace 5 012-09) some few scattered stones, fixed in the ground at intervals, and in some places, causewayed remains , of stones of a smaller size than any other part of the road, can be seen 'till within about 20 chains of the farm-house, from which point to the farm, there is nothing more remarkable in its appearance than an ordinary parish road. Some furze are growing on the road between the last points described, and the whole of the road from the Roman Bridge to its junction with the Lanark Turnpike Road is an old Public Right of Way now seldom used as the bridge is unsafe for cattle. No part of the Lanark Turnpike Road(Underlined) (See New Statistical Account) is recognised by any of the parishioners as ---(cntinued on Page 16)

OS1/21/21/16 ROMAN ROAD (Watling Street) Roman Road (Watling or Watlin Street) continued 11.12 ; 12.09 ; 12.14 either as a Roman Road in name(underlined) or in remains.(The part between the R.[Roman] bridge & the farm of N.[North] Motherwell is known to everybody as the "Roman Road" & however unlike a R[Roman] road it may appear in some places, the name, as a name, should be retained.)X Upon the authority of John Purdy, Motherwell, about the oldest man in the parish, the Roman Road instead of turning into the Lanark road from N[North] Motherwell, went straight across the country in direction of cross-stone(trace 6 012-013). This information agrees with its direction, in a straight line , coming from Meadowhead, in the east of the parish (trace 6 012-014) to the point where it ends in a field of the Flemington Farm.(Trace 5 012-014), between which & the farm of "N[North]Motherwell" , neither the site nor the remains could be established upon the authority mentioned, who only speaks, & perhaps surmisingly, of its direction, but coulld not undertake to point out its position on the ground, although he says he remembers the line of road when it presented a bare appearance or mark in the fields in which is passed through, going straight from "N[North] Motherwell" to "Cross-stone", & beyond it to the "Robberhall Road" (Trace 5 012) All traces of the Roman Road are therefore lost between N[North]Motherwell Farm and the point where the site is picked up in the field of Flemington Farm (Trace 5 012-014). From here to the north side of "Victoria Pit", as pointed out by the Flemington farmer, the stones are formed impeding the plough at every yard, & at the present time ((April) while the round is freshly ploughed, numerous stones taking up a width in the fields of from 12 to 20 feet, such as are not to be seen in other parts of the fields, are lying on the surface, shewing unmistakeable remains of the Roman Road. All traces are lost from the Victoria Pit to the eastern boundaries of the Parish of Dalziel. None of the personal authorities quoted nor any person off whom enquiries have been made, know the name. "Watlin or Watling Street" in connection with the Roman Road.
