Archaeology Notes

NS87SW 57 Unlocated RX 3

A Roman road from Belstane to Castlecary is thought to have passed over the moorland wastes about Longriggend (NS 8215 700) and across the desolate wind swept Fannyside Muir (NS 80 74), but no trace has ever been found.

J M Davidson 1952.

Information from OS (SFS) May 1975.
