The Roman Map of Britain Doion vicinity of Sedberg? or Glenlochar?

Stodoion var. Stodoyon (R&C 158) next

    Here we get into a gray area, we are approaching, if not at, the transition to another quadrant. Sto looks like an abbreviation for Statio 'post, station', but is part of the previous entry Croucingo-sto. On the presumption that Doion is a river name we continue south on Margary 7c from the previous entry. The next road junction is near Sedberg where Margary 731 should join 7c somewhere in SD6391 or sd6491. At this supposed spot is the crossing of the river Rawthey, a name of apparently Scandinavian origin. The potential tie-in for Doion is the Rawthey's major tributary, the River Dee also know as Dent Denet 1202-08. Dee might be the surviving name of the Rawthey. There is no fort known there, nor are there Roman finds.

    If this is not at a crossing of the Rawthey, what other resembler of Doion might begin a new series? Of the many possibilities: on the Dumfries & Galloway Dee is the Roman fort at Glenlochar (NX7364); the Roman temporary camp on Dean Water at Cardean, Angus (NO2946); the Dee and Don of Aberdeen offer camps at Normandykes (NO8399) and Kintore (NJ7816); the Deveron offers Burnfield (NJ5447); the Clackmannan Devon; Dighty Water of Monifieth; Divie Water; the Doon; Duneaton Water offers the fortlet at Wandel (NS9426); and Dunning Burn the camp at Dunning (NO0215).

     Experience would suggest the site is south of the Antonine wall in the west. The fort at Glenlochar appears to be the most likely alternate, and the entries that follow it have good potential for the Dumfries and Galloway vicinity.
