A second date 1682 is cut on the wall above one of the windows which is evidently the date of some additions. This house belonged to a branch of the Hamilton family The next known proprietor was a Mr. Charteris then a Captn.

From its situation & from some cut stones & Roman relics said to have been found from time to time in the ground about the house it is very probable to have been the site of one of the Roman Forts or stations which appertained to the Roman Wall.
