We shall briefly discuss whether we have here direct sequence 

 or not. The headquarters, as we have already stated, were situated 

 at Eburacum (York), and the military road ran thence northwards 

 by Isurium (Aldborough) and Cataractonium (Catterick), and so 

 across Stainmore to Luguvallum (Carlisle). 



The earlier portion of this road lay open to attacks from the 

 Brigantes, whose strongholds were in the mountainous parts of the 

 county, whence they were able easily to make descents on the 

 road, &c. 



To afford protection to it, camps were planted in these lateral 

 valleys, and doubtless the allocation above represented, based on 

 the views of Mr. W. H. D. Longstaffe,* will be found to be toler- 

 ably correct. At any rate, a road passed via Adel, Ilkley, and 

 Brugh, meeting with the main road about half-way between Greta 

 Bridge and Bowes. Stations at Lavatre and Vertera; undoubtedly 

 held the pass over Stainmore. Beyond the latter station we have 

 Braboniacum, which may have been Kirkby Thore, (the Brovonacis 

 of the 2nd Antonine Iter.) Arrived here, we seem brought to a 

 stand still in the immediate neighbourhood of the western termin- 

 ation of the Wall, for all the stations in advance are known, and to 

 none of them can be applied the names Maglova, Magse, Longo- 

 vicum, or Derventio. Where shall we then look for these ? Has 

 the name Concangium anything to do in unravelling the mystery? 

 I think so. 



Thus a detachment from Dictis arriving on the second Iter would 

 find the names Concangium and Lavatre on their list. Of course 

 they knew that their route westward must lead them through
