Stat.Acct. [Statistical Account] 1845 |
|
[Situation] Adjacent to Inveresk Church
An oblong earthen Mound Situated in the North West End of InveresK Church Yard, said to have been thrown up by Oliver Cromwell. This account of its origin has however been disproved, and from the fact of Roman remains having been found in it, it is all probably Roman. Various accounts prove it to have been in existence at the time of Hertfords expedition, prior to the days of the Protector. He may, however, have used it as a rampart to protect his artillery. |

|
An oblong earthen mound or rampart in the North west end of Inveresk Church Yard, said to have been erected by Cromwell when he held this place, a great many people of intelligence reprobate this statement, and consider it a remnant of the old Roman fossa which surrounded the Praetorium The present Minister informs me that in sinKing a grave at its south base a superior specimen of a Roman Vase was disinterred and however that Oliver Cromwell may have used it as a rampart to protect his artillery. its erection appears to have been long anterior to his day. At the close of the last century there were two More [---] Mounds (one within the demesne of InveresK House, which is now levelled & in maKing the improvements to the floor & walls of it a Roman stash were come upon. |
