The great Roman road passed through this county from
Stanemore to Brougham castle, and till the turnpike road was
made it was very conspicuous almost the whole length of its
course, six yards broad, formed of three courses of large
square stones, (the lowermost largest) or of gravel and
flint as materials varied. ...

The Roman road called the Maiden way passes through a large
camp, where the stone of king Marius formerly stood, now
succeeded by the Rere cross. Thence through Maiden castle, a
small square fort, in which have been found Roman mortars,
quite through Market Brough, over Brough fair hill, ...
Leaving on the left Warcop, a pretty village ... it passes
along Sandford moor, and down a horse course to Cowpland
beck bridge, where on the right are the ruined foundations
of a noble round tower 40 paces diameter, ... Then by
Appleby to the camp on Crackenthorp moor, through the end of
Kirkby Thore downs, and through Temple Sowerby, a village of
the Dalstons of Acorn bank. Then by the side of Whinfield
forest to Hart-horn tree, ...

The Roman highway, which I have so often mentioned, and
which, in my last letter, I left at Leeming Lane and Peers
Brigg, in the North Riding of York, enters this county from
Rear Cross upon Stanmore, and crossing it almost due east
and west, goes through Appleby, passing the Eden a little
north from Perith, at an antient Roman station call'd
Brovoniacum,
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
Here [Carlisle] also the great Roman highway, ... has its
end, this being the utmost station of the Roman soldiers on
this side.
