NN81NE 15 c. 87 19.
A camp at Findal was on the south side, and in an angle of, the river Earn which surrounds it on the N and E sides. The trenches were still in great part, entire. The 'handles of swords and other things' were found near the camp (Glenturret, Perth Library, No.117, p.29).
OS 6" map annotated by Anon, undated.
If allowance is made for the frequent changes of course of the River Earn and the fact that the above may be an old authority, (which was not known in Perth Library) this could refer to the Roman Temporary Camp on Dornock Farm (NN81NE 14).
