Full Description
Alleged camp site. The evidence for this is from Barclay's sketch-map of 1785 on which it is shown as a square with rounded corners, although it is mentioned as early as 1722. The Ordnance Name Book includes a reference to the site being called 'The Camp' in about 1800 but the ground was then under cultivation and no remains were evident. Crawford thought the site too narrow for a Roman camp or fort. A good site for a possible native fort. Now a housing estate.
