| Roman Camp | [continued from page 143] run 2 "at right angles to one another, and seem to have composed the west, and north sides of the camp. The Luther-water which is here only a rivulet ran formerly through the west side of this camp, and on the east side of it there are several Springs. This strength is called by the people of the country, the West Camp. At a little distance eastward there is a very complete Roman Fort, which is supposed to have been the Praetorium of the West Camp. It is of an oblong rectangular form, surrounded by a ditch, and rampart. The ditch is eighteen feet wide, and is even now Six feet deep, but it was formerly deeper as the old people who reside near it, assert. The area within is, from east to west, about 83 yards long, and about 38 yards broad, and contains about 3154 square yards.Very near the south west corner is the gate, of the width of 22 feet. About half a mile north of this camp upon Drumsleid hill, there are the remains of a large *British *fortification, which is sometimes called the Scottish Camp by the people of the country. These notices are stated from very minute descriptions, and mensurations, by the Revd [Reverend] James Leslie of Fordoun, and the Revd [Reverend] Mr Hutton of Edzell which were made in 1799."

*This to all appearance has never been a Camp, but an Intrenchment of about 140 yards in length, and at the South end there has evidently been a well or reservoir. See 10.5 |
