[Note] Although this Camp or Fort differs a little in Shape (being rather of a square form) from the other Camps in the locality of this plan, yet it, being constructed by the Romans is rather doubtful and more probably was constructed by the same people who erected the other forts or Camps in this neighbourhood, And therefore "Camp" only is written on plan |

The other of which a great part of the "Square tower yet remains is towards a mile farther up "on the north Side of the water. This is what is now usually Called "Lugate Castle" but appears to have been originally named "Ewes Castle" from the ancient name of the water." Stat. [Statistical] Acct. [Account] 1845 |

There are remains of ancient Roman camps on the farms of Muirhouse, Stagehall Craigend Watherston, Nethershiels, Pirntaiton and Mawtree &c [etc], they vary in Size from half an acre as at Nethershiels to two acres as at Muirhouse & Craigend , the larger ones are circular while the others are oval -
[Note] Note.- The above Camp as well as those in pages 19 and 26 although Called "Roman Camps" are written in each case "Camp" only on Plan as the original Shape or construction of these Cannot now be Seen owing to their being so much defaced and there is not sufficient information to ascertain their Origin. It is more probable that they were British "Camps" or Hill Forts than that of "Roman Camps" This is the opinion of Captn [Captain] James R. E. [Royal Engineer] who examined them on the ground. |
