Normandykes, a military antiquity in the SW corner of Peterculter parish, Aberdeenshire, crowning a gentle eminence on the N side of the river Dee, opposite several fords of the river, 7 miles WSW of Aberdeen. It seems to have been a Roman camp, 938 yards in length and 453 in breadth; is wrongly believed by some antiquaries to occupy or indicate the site of the ancient town of Devana; and has been so obliterated, as now to be represented by only a small reach of dyke and ditch, forming part of the fence of an adjoining field.—Ord. Sur., sh. 77, 1873.
