023 | "The Fort of Duntocher was situated upon the rising ground which overlooks the Church, and that questionable piece of antiquity called the Roman Bridge. As usual, the position is excellent, affording a fair view of the country on every side, and completely commanding the point where the neighbouring rivulet formerly wound its way through the line of the Wall. Gordon represents this fort as being, about the year 1725, in a tolerably distinct condition. He describes it as an inclosure nearly square, protected by two ramparts, with a ditch between them, and having a single gateway in the centre of its southern face; but, singular enough, he carries the continuous entrenchment of the Wall directly through the Station, instead of placing it along the northern side. Horsley corrected this mistake, and discovered a second entrance in the Eastern rampart - issuing from which, a small branch road proceeded, according to his account, to join the main Causeway, whose slightly elevated ridge passed at the distance of a few yards to the south of the Station. According to Roy, the fort of Duntocher was of an oblong form - measuring within the area about 450 by 300 feet; when he visited it, however, the ramparts were so much dilapidated that their actual size & shape could with difficulty be ascertained". Caledonia Romana. The Hill upon which this Station is situated, is known as the "Golden Hill" in the locality. The remains are generally very indistinct, but still traceable, particularly on the south side, which is partly natural on the inner side of the entrenchment. As late as between 30 & 40 years ago part of the eastern side, along with the Fosse of the Wall adjoining the station on the same side, was, from its steepness, wrought with the Spade.
