A Roman fort at Inveresk, Midlothian
[NT 3472]. Excavation 1946-7 located the fort, which measured 480 ft by 615-595 over the clay rampart, and dated to the Antonine period. Inside it stone barrack-blocks and a stable, with concrete floors and timber partitions, were located, the latter partly overlying an earlier stone granary. One bath-house lay to the E and a second to the S, possibly within an annexe. D J B
Castellum Veluniate and Civilians on a Roman Frontier
The remarkable Roman altar which has prompted this paper was ploughed up in the spring of 1956 on the farm of Stacks, West Lothian, a short distance E. of the site of the Roman fort of Carriden. 1 The importance of the discovery was at once realised by the farmer's sister, Miss Elizabeth Paul, who reported it to the Keeper of the National Museum of Antiquities, and the farmer himself, Mr James Paul, has generously presented the altar to the Museu…
Roman communications in the Tweed Valley
It has long been assumed that Trimontium and Dere Street must have been linked, by a lateral road, with the communications in the Clyde valley, but the paucity of material remains of any such road, especially between Trimontium and Peebles, has remained a serious puzzle.Within the last few years, however, some fresh discoveries have been made near Peebles, 1 at Innerleithen, 2 and in the area west of Kirkurd, 3 and more recently still the Ancient…

A New Roman Mountain-Road in Dumfriesshire and Roxburghshire
Description of a putative Roman road whose function is believed to link the south-west of Scotland with Trimontium or Newstead. It is argued that the site at Raeburnfoot was an intermediate fort or fortlet along its route
Memoirs - James Curle and Arthur J H Edwards
Short accounts of the lives and achievements of James Curle and Arthur J H Edwards. Curle's account of the brochs at Bow and Torwoodlee, which he contributed to the Society's Proceedings, still holds its place as the basic description of two of the most remarkable early monuments of the Lowlands while his work at Newsteads Fort laid the foundations for a typology of Roman objects found in Scotland. Arthur Edwards was director of the museum from 1…

The water-supply of the Roman Fort at Lyne
The fort is located high above the water-table in their valleys, and impossibly deep well-digging would be required to reach any good supply. In the excavation of 1901, a number of tanks, cisterns and sewers were identified and these are re-interpreted as part of the system for water supply. It is difficult to determine, however, if these features were all of one period as there is evidence for both Antonine and Flavian occupation at Lyne
Excavations on the estate of Meikleour, Perthshire, 1939
A fortification on the Black Hill is re-interpreted as a Roman signal tower on the basis of further excavation. The tower is placed in a curious position. It does not, as might be expected, face Inchtuthil, three miles away. Its immediate objective is two isolated gaps or passages in a large linear earthwork, which runs across the plain some 500 yards away at the nearest point. The earthwork is known as the Cleaven Dyke. This was partly excavated…
The Agricolan fort at Fendoch
Report on excavations in 1936 and 1937. The unusual rectangular form of the fort was dictated by the space available. Features examined included the rampart, ditch and intervallum and the east gateway. All the internal features (principia, praetorium, granaries, barracks, ovens) were examined and evidence was found to suggest that the fort had been deliberately dismantled. Artefacts included an unbroken sword from a foundation trench of the princ…
Excavations at Birrens, 1936-37
In the original excavation no attempt was made to discover whether the two structural periods accounted for the whole or only a part of the occupation of Birrens by the Romans; dating evidence was limited to inscriptions and coins. It is argued on the basis of further excavation that the phases originally identified were only a part of the total occupation and that the fort was re-occupied in the third century and continued into the fourth. A det…
The Roman fort at Fendoch in Glenalmond
The Roman site at Fendoch was not unknown to an older generation, though to this one it conies as a new discovery.It was first mentioned in print by the minister of Monzie, who was responsible for the section dealing with the parish in the Statistical Account of Scotland (1795)."About two miles east from the church" (of Monzie), he wrote, 1 "at the country called Findochs, there is a large camp.It is situated opposite to the only proper passage t…
Augustan Gates at Torino and Spello
The occasion of the following notes is the publication of Goffredo Bendinelli's useful monograph on Roman Turin, which raises once more the question of the date to which the Gates of that colonia belong. Bendinelli does not hesitate to adopt Rivoira's view, and classifies these Gates as Augustan. Yet opinions about this matter have veered considerably, and since no writer discusses in detail the structural points upon which the question turns, it…

Roman Gaul
About one-third of this book consists of a general introduction to the study of Roman Gaul; the rest is concerned with the Roman fortifications of the province; and all was to have been produced by Déchelette himself, but, after his untimely death in battle, it passed to Albert Grenier, Professeur d’Antiquités nationales et rhenanes à la Faculté des Lettres de Strasbourg. The choice is significant, for this is the first general publication by a F…

Ptolemaic Scotland
A revision of the Ptolemaic geography of Scotland based on new archaeological discoveries. In Ptolemy's map there is an eastern coast-line which for all its\r\nfaults is unmistakably clear from the Tweed as far as the Moray Firth. Also it may be noted that among the land-stations, although for the most part their positions seem unlike anything that we know of the topography of Roman Scotland, there would appear to be a very definite scheme of plo…
