Description:
This detail from John Adair's map of Straithern (Strathearn) shows a plan of Ardoch (Airdoch) Roman camp, near Braco. The camp, which dates from the 1st-2nd centuries AD, was excavated in 1896-7 and can still be seen today. The drawing of a tombstone shows the memorial of Ammonius, a Roman soldier who served at Ardoch in the 1st century AD. The slab, found at Ardoch in the late 17th century, is one of few to have survived. It is now in the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow. Details such as these reflect the growing interest in antiquities in the 17th and 18th centuries. Early drawings of sites are very important to archaeologists as many sites were destroyed by 18th century agricultural improvements.
