Description:
|
This detail of Robert Sibbald's map of the Antonine wall illustrates the value of such maps to modern archaeologists, as they often show monuments before they were destroyed or altered by the18th century land improvements or the growth of settlements. Sibbald attempted accurate observations, writing, 'I found my opinions for the most part upon the vestiges of the camps and buildings'. Nevertheless, some inaccuracies exist, such as the point at which the wall crosses the river Kelvin, but many of the forts and the ditch to the north are shown. This small Roman temple, often known as Arthur's O'en (oven), near Stenhouse, was later destroyed for an ironworks. Fortunately, it was recorded by 18th century antiquaries such as Sibbald, and later by General William Roy.
