012 | 10 chains north from Castlelaw. An ancient camp on the farm of Castlelaw. It is of an oval form and the fosse and ramparts are still very distinct especially on the north side. In the Statistical Account of the County of Edinburgh it is said "There are distinct vestiges of two Camps in this parish one at Castlelaw and the other on a rising ground which forms part of the base of Twinhouse Hill." From the slope and construction of the above object it appears to be of the same class as those usually considered British Forts and written Fort in Old English on the plans. |

Ordnance Survey - Midlothian county
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 Midlothian, which is in the east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
