What is recorded here
Castledykes marks Roman field boundaries and a temporary camp in South Lanarkshire, yet local memory also ties it to Robert the Bruce raising his standard near Dumfries in 1306. The land carries both facts: old military lines and a later act of defiance. That layering makes the place sound broader than a single event, as if Roman discipline and Scottish resistance still share the same ground.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castledykes as Field Boundary(s) (roman), Temporary Camp (roman). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
