Mr Crosbie John Currie Esqr. John Hiddlestones Esqr. John McKinnel Esqr. Statistical Account |
040 | [Situation] About 1¼ Mile S.E. E. [South East by East] of Dunscore Village. A very considerable eminence in the lower part of the Parish. - There are obvious traces on Springfield Hill of a Military Station, which seems hitherto to have escaped notice. It is of an oblong form, evidently adapted to the nature of the ground, and covers about to acres of ground. It is now covered by a plantation of larch, enclosed with a dry stone fence, but may be easily traced out. There is a double mound in front forming five crescents with a ditch between them. the outer crescent is smaller than the inner, which not only expands into a wider area, but is considerably more elevated. the centre of the whole forming the top of the hill, is flat, but the same regularity cannot be traced in the rear as in front, although there is a steep descent all round. There is only one entrance apparent, which is on the east side, and just at the point of junction with the inner & outer mounds. This has evidently been a military station & probably a Roman one, - for it is situated very near the line of an old Roman road which passed through the Parish of Kirkmahoe on the opposite side of the Nith, and it commands a complete view of the country in the direction of Tinwald, |
