Excerpt from The Journal of the British Archaeological Association, Vol. 10: Established 1843, for the Encouragement and Prosecution of Researches Into the Arts and Monuments of the Early and Middle Ages The interesting paper by Mr. Just On the Tenth Iter of Antoninus and the Roman Remains of the North of England (see Journal, vol. Viii, pp. 35 led me to direct my attention to the Roman roads and fortifications in the intramural province of Valentia. In this northern district the subject presents more difficulties than in the southern parts of the island. The most eminent anti quaries differ not only on the sites of the various stations, but even on the general direction of the iters. Roy, Chal mers, Stewart, have each a theory of his own, and incon sistent with those of the others. I had never the presump tion to suppose that I should be able to solve a question which had puzzled such distinguished authors. My object was one of a more humble and limited nature. Mr. Just observes that the mystery must be cleared up. The key is on the ground yet, which when found and taken up, and properly applied, will unlock the dungeon doors, and let the light of day into this labyrinth of obscurity. The necessity of an accurate and minute survey is therefore apparent; and what I proposed to effect was a personal examination of that portion of the province known as the upper ward of Lanarkshire, with which I happened to be intimately acquainted. I hoped by this means to give an accurate description of one portion of the lock, and thus to some extent facilitate the construction of a proper key.
