| Abstract: |
A review of the evidence concerning the Roman camps and other fortifications at Burnswark and theories concerning a possible siege of the hill. The author presents the arguments which have been put forward with respect to the various archaeological features in the light of Roman military practices elsewhere, and analyses their viability, concluding that the remains are more likely to be those of a genuine siege than of a training exercise. |
