Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
NO 02361498. Archaeological and philological evidence combines to suggest that the battle of Mons Craupius (correction for Graupius) described by Tacitus in his biography of Agricola took place at Duncrub, near Dunning, Perthshire. The two main links in the chain of evidence are the equation Mons Craupius = Dorsum Crup = Duncrub, and the identification and ascription to Agricola of the "Stracathro" class of Roman temporary camp. Portions of such a camp have been located in Kincladie Wood, only 2km from the level-topped hill at Duncrub. Perthshire was, on place-name evidence, the centre of Caledonian power, and in historical times it was an important Pictish area where, in AD 840, another decisive battle was fought on the same hill at Duncrub (see also 70/828). | ||
