ROMAN CAMP
(Remains of)
[signed initials] EHC [Edward Henry Courtney]

This object is evidently the Roman camp mentioned in Statistical Account etc.-
It is believed by some Archeoelogist; who inspected it some 40 years ago, to
have been merely intended to accommodate a small garrison for the purpose
of keeping open the communications between the Camp at Peterculter on the
River Dee, & the Camp at Glenmeilan in Auchterless Parish. As I can find
no traces, beyond those inserted on the Plan, I have no doubt that such must
have been the case.

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Aberdeen, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
