(Centred NO 2200 3760) Roman Camp (R) (Site of)
OS 6" map (1903)
For discovery of Roman coins at Campmuir (NO 220 377), see NO23NW 18.
This temporary Roman camp was discovered in 1754 by Captain R Melville. In Roy's time, about 3/4 of it was visible, but when visited by Crawford, who considers its plan as shown on OS 6", 1863 is correct, only the E end of the S side, and a small adjacent part of the E side, both in a wood; also about 300' of the N side near the NW corner, between it and the road from Campmuir to Coupar were visible. A short part of the W side was visible in 1925 as a bank forming the boundary between two fields, but it is now oscupied by bungalows and gardens.
APs show parts of the N and E sides, with a slight change of direction in the middle of the N side, as if at a gate.
