063 | "At the east end of the hill of Gourdie, and two miles northward of Inchtuthill, there is a curious piece of antiquity called Steeds' Stalls, consisting of eight mounds and eight corresponding trenches all of equal lengths, alternate and parallel, and at the south end of every trench there is a circular concave." Playfairs Statl. Acct. [Statistical Account] "To the east end of the hill of Gourdie, about a mile and a half from Spittalfield, may be seen a relic of antiquity, called the Steeds' Stalls. It Consists of eight mounds,with Corresponding trenches. It is thought that this formed the advanced position of the Caledonian Army, in order that they might watch the movements of the Romans, when they lay encamped at Inchtuthill, about two miles to the southward, on the plain below."
