There are still to be seen the remains of two old Camps from their oval form evidently Danish one
in the NW. [North West] quarter near a place Called Burrowan which is said to be the station to which the
Danes retreated after their defeat at the battle of Inverkeithing; the other a good way farther south i
n the muir of Culross was the station occupied by the Danes before the battle of Culross. The
Praetorium is pretty entire, at least the trenches around it are very discernible."
