025.15 A small prominent knoll, in the immediate vicinity of and between the town of Lanark and the River Clyde, on the summit of which it is supposed a Castle once stood, at present no remains of the Castle or any of its defensive works are traceable. The summit of the hill is now a bowling green and its sides gardens.
"The Castle-Hill, which we have already mentioned as a small mount in the immediate vicinity of the town, towards the river, is supposed to have been originally a Roman castellum; and General Roy mentions a fine silver Faustina as having been found here. But at present there is scarcely left a single vestige either of the ancient Roman work, or of the royal castle which in later times occupied its site. It has been converted into a bowling-green"
