C ATTERT.HUN', a remarkable Caledonian poft, near 
Brechin, in the county of Angus, in Scotland. Mr. Pen- 
nant defcribes it as of uncommon (Length. “ It is (fays 
he) of an oval form, made of a ftupendiu-us dike of loole 
white (tones, whole convexity, from tlie bale within to 
that without, is 122 feet. On the outfidea hollow, made 
by the difpofition of the (tones, fnrrotmds the whole. 
Round the bafe is a deep ditch, and below' that about 100 
yards, are veltiges of another, that went round the lull. 
The area w ithin the ftonv mound is flat ; the a-xis, or 
length of the oval, is 436 feet, the tranfveife diameter 
200. Near the eaft fide is the foundation of a redl ingular 
building ; ,and on moft parts are the foundations of others 
fmall and circular: all which had once their luperftruc- 
tures, the fhelter of the p.ofl'eflTors of the poft : there is 
alfo a hollow, now almoft filled with Hones, the well of 
the place.” The meaning of the word Cait r-tlum is :Camp- 
town \ and Mr. Pennant thinks thefe might probably be 
the pofts occupied by the Caledonians before 1 their engage¬ 
ment at tlie foot of the Grampian mountains with the cele¬ 
brated Agricola. See Scotland.

CATTIVEI.LAU'NI, an ancient people of Britain, 
feated in the country now divided into the counties of 
Hertford, Bedford, and Bucks. The name of this ancient 
Bntifh people is written in feveral different ways by Greek 
and Roman authors, being fometimes called Catti, Caifii, 
Catticuclani, Cattidudani, Catticludani, aec. I'hat they 
were of Belgic origin cannot be doubted, and it is not im- ’ 
probable, that they derived their name of Catti from the 
Belgic word Katten, which fignifies. illuftrious or noble, 
and that the addition of Vellauni, which means on the 
banks of rivers, might be given them after their arrival 
in Britain, as deferiptive of the fituation of their country. 
The territories of the Cattivellauni made a part of the 
Roman province called Britannia Prima.
