RT @_RomanBritain: Today I'm writing about this enigmatic structure that once stood in central Scotland. Known as Arthur's O'on (Oven) it was probably built by the Romans and later associated with King Arthur. Sadly, we will never know its true story, since it was tragically demolished in 1743. pic.twitter.com/qR3F8fQ9ec
