Inquines, and [Evacuations] have been made of the site cannot even now be found
About a Mile and a half, above Lauder, the remains of the Roman road again became visible and is here [named] the Ox-road - as it leads up to a Strang Station Called "Black Chester" - Chalmers Caledonia Vol [Volume] 1 P [Page] 142

" This Camp was placed on a rising ground, which overlooks several British Forts, in the surrounding country. Its figure is something between a Circle and an oval; and seems to have been thus formed to suit the [ground], whereon it was placed. It was secured by two fosses, and ramparts of earth, having one entrance, on the East and another on the West. The outer ditch is, even now, nearly 11 yards wide, and from 15 to 20 deep; the inner ditch is about 14 feet wide, and appears to have been 7 or 8 feet deep but is now much filled up"

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 Berwick, which is in the south east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
