Synopsis
Excerpt from The Roman Fort at Balmuildy (Summerston, Near Glasgow) On the Antonine Wall: Being an Account of Excavations Conducted on Behalf of the Glasgow Archaeological Society
The heavy expense of this prolonged investigation was met mainly by subscriptions from the members of the Society, and by a grant from the Society's funds. A donation was received from the City of Glasgow, and a grant of 100 was made by the Carnegie Trustees. In addition to that substantial contribution the Carnegie Trustees granted 100 towards the production of the Report.
Before leaving on Active Service I had time to draft that part of the Report which deals with the Structural Remains, and to draw up an inventory of the finds. The systematic description of the finds and the completion and revision of the Report as a whole had to stand over until after my demobilization in 1919.
