Continued entries/extra info

Camp continued:-

*Supposed to be Roman in origin, and to have joined another road in Peeblesshire.
"It is highly probable that the road was here also joined by another branch from the upper part of Peebleshire, although traces of this are found in several places, I have not been able to trace accurately its course. It follows the valley of the Camp till that stream separates into two branches, when it ascends to the high grounds between them and inclines to the left along the heights above that branch which is known as the Grains Burn. On the side of the hill immediately above the junction of the two streams, and on a sort of knob or prominence, a very strong and elaborately fortified Camp is met with. There is no water in its precincts, and the road passes to its right, but bends as above stated after passing it.
