Battle-Knowes, a quondam ancient camp, supposed to be Roman, on Leetside farm, in Whitsome parish, Berwickshire. It is still traceable in the middle of what is now a marsh. It had a square form, measuring 126 feet on each side; it was approached by a raised pavement of rough stones, not very long ago removed; and it probably was surrounded with water or situated on an islet in a lake.
