Remains of the Roman Station at Cappuck. 389 



Marquis of Lothian, who is getting them put together. I 

 have no doubt that the members of the Club shall have an 

 opportunity of seeing them when all properly arranged, and 

 when, perhaps, more may be added, as I understand the 

 excavations are to be resumed. 



Wishing to know if any other articles had been found in 

 that field, I went to an old farm servant who had been 40 

 years at Cappuck. He told me that every time that part of 

 the field was ploughed, there were large quantities of stones 

 turned up, which were used in building sheds at the farm 

 steading. But the purpose they were mostly used for was 

 hutching the water. He remembered two querns being found, 

 which were used for this same purpose. 



These discoveries are convincing proofs that the place of 

 our excavations was once the site of a Roman station. The 

 place is also in close proximity to the Koman road, being 

 only 56 yards from it, 65 yards from the bed of the river, 

 16 yards from the river bank, and 63 yards from the 

 main road. 



The building has been cleared out to the depth of two 

 courses of masonry, which is of freestone, and must have 

 been brought from a distance, as no stone of this kind is 

 to be found in the vicinity. 



At the two last meetings of the Club in Jedburgh, I gave 

 a report of the excavations as far as we had then gone, but 

 this paper gives a full report up to the present time.
