Field Visit (April 1978)

RCAHMS: The Archaeological Sites and Monuments of Lunan Valley and Montrose Basin, Angus District

Dun NO 688 593 NO65NE

A number of crop-marks have been recorded at the top of the slope that runs up from the Montrose basin to the level ground on which the Roman temporary camp (NO65NE 21) is situated. Two ring-ditches, measuring about 15m in diameter, lie within the SW and NW quadrants of the camp respectively and at least one other of comparable size lies outside the camp to the S, together with at least three small circular markings, one of which is penannular, and another may be a ditched barrow measuring about 10m in diameter.
