This fort or Camp is Shewn a considerable distance north of the place indicated on this trace, on Stobie's map of Perthshire, but particular enquiry has been made to ascertain the correctness of of Site and it is found that the place is well known. Mr Walker late tenant of the farm of Blair Mains levelled some years ago considerable portions of the defences which till then remained, and all the older inhabitants speak in familiar terms of their recollections of "Duncan's Camp", as they call it.
