062 | The remains of an ancient fort situated on the summit of the Craig of Stenton, the defensive works of which are faintly traceable, the situation commands an extensive view of the vale of Strath More, and was no doubt chosen as a place of defence in consequence. Tradition ascribes this place as one of the advanced posts of the Caledonian Army, and constructed for the purpose of watching the operation of the Romans when encamped at Inchtuthill. "Near the top of the Craig of Stenton, (a remarkable detached conical hill, about a mile west from the church,) is a place called Kemp's Hold, or the Soldier's Fastness, bearing evident marks of having been a fortified spot" New Statistical Account |

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