Mr Archibald McKay Kilmarnock Mr. Woodburn Annandale Mr William Sheddan, Little Onthank |
018 | "It is Supposed that there was a Roman Camp where the powderhouse stands, but there are no visible traces of a camp, nor did the oldest people in the neighbourhood ever see any such remains, but there are persons living in the neighbourhood who saw the Roman Well, it was closed about 20 years ago, when the farm was drained." |
| URNS FOUND HERE [tumulus; Knockinglaw] | 018 | "There were two urns, containing human remains, discovered close to where the powder house stands, about 60 years ago, by a person of the name of Cuthbertson, who was digging and carrying away earth to make a road. | ||
| TUMULUS [Knockinglaw] | 018 | It is quite plain that the earth he was carrying away was that which formed the Tumulus, it seems to have been of an oval shape about 4 or 5 high, and about half of it remains. The urns seem to have been found about its centre. Signed G. Byrne |

County of Ayr -- Parish of Kilmarnock
"That the Romans, who traversed the
"banks of the Irvine from its source to its
"junction with the Sea, had a station at
"Kilmarnock is very possible. The site of
"the encampment is supposed to have
"been the Knockinlaw, where the Powder
"House now stands, an eminence, as the
"name implies, commanding an extensive
"view of the surrounding country.
"In the vicinity, until within these five
"years there was a well, long known as
"the 'Roman Well' and not far from it
"various urns and other remains of
"Antiquity have from time to
"time been dug up."
