Camp Old Rothbury Camp of Westhills of an ancient date. All traces of the buildings
(Remains of) Old Rothbury Camp Supposed to have been erected in its vicinity have
disappeared. It is purely British
"Supposed to have been a fort of the ancient Britons, and was,
perhaps, used in latter ages as an asylum
in times of public danger, when the inhabitants retired with their
property during the periods of the Scotch incursions.
It is very well adapted for the site of a beacon, as it commands a very
extensive prospect."
