In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Campmuir like this:
Campmuir, a hamlet in Kettins parish, Forfarshire, 2 miles S of Cupar-Angus. Outlines of a Roman camp, with only one gate, towards the larger camp at Cupar, are in its vicinity; and here, according to Skene, the ninth legion was surprised in 83 a. d. by the Caledonians, who, however, were routed, Agricola falling on their rear.
