| [Site of Roman Camp continued] | [continued from page 24] "the side of the road by which leads from Inglismaldy to Brechin. In most of the other situations the Romans have laid hold of the nearest rising ground with some part or other of their entrenchment, but here they seem to have neglected that precaution, perhaps the Tumulus might be intended for their exploratores in this quarter, since from the Camp itself they could not possibly discover the country lying towards the South east, because of the height which intervened" General Roy's Work "There is a place in the Parish" (Stracathro) "called Blackdikes, which is thought to be a corruption of Battledikes. This conjecture is strengthened by there being the remains of a camp of an oblong figure, two sides of which are still visible, lying in the neighbourhood, in the Parish of Brechin" Old Stat [Statistical] Account of Stracathro Parish |
