... About half a mile south south-west from hence [Dalstoon
stone circle] was a small Roman camp about 30 yards
diameter, and much about the same distance north north-west
another Roman camp of like dimensions. A third about a mile
south east much larger. None of these camps are above a
mile, and the first not a quarter of the distance from Rose,
where Mr. Camden places Congavata, which Mr. Horsley, on
much better grounds, fixes at Stanwix. The two smaller camps
are now arable land, and have been frequently plowed, but no
coins or inscriptions found. The other is on an uncultivated
moor, and has never been searched or tried: but small hand
mill-stones and other things have been dug up, sufficient to
evince them to be Roman.
