limit of this camp. Proceeding south, in almost a straight line, 
on the top of a hummocky knoll near “‘ Broad Bank,” and over- 
looking Thursden Valley, is a circular camp, with a fosse in a 
remarkable state of preservation. Its diameter is fifty yards, 
and there are likewise the remains of a small reservoir for water 
some fifty yards westward. Crossing Thursden Valley in the 
direction of ‘Jerusalem Farm,” reclaimed from the moor by 
the eccentric Jonas Lee, about half way up the slope on the 
Extwistle side, there is a small and seemingly temporary circular 
camp about thirty yards in diameter, probably an outlying camp 
to keep up a communication between the ‘‘ Twist” and ‘“ Broad 
Bank’’ camps. A short distance from here to the south-west, 
on the summit of one of those hills that stands 
As if the ocean with its billowy swells 
Stood still and motionless for ever,— 
there is a circle of seven stones. About the year 1841 or 1842; 
an antiquarian, named Spencer, from Halifax, opened the centre 
of the circle, and found three unglazed urns filled with calcined 
human bones, evidently the remains of an officer of superior 
rank, probably the commander of troops in the adjacent camp. 
Striking off due west, on the summit of the ‘ Twist,” at a 
place where the rounded hill forms a promontory overlooking 
‘Holden Clough,” (one of those pretty little sylvan scenes we 
often meet with in these out-of-the-way places, teeming with 
botanical treasures), we come to a square entrenched camp with 
its eastern and western gates or openings, which are in a good 
state of preservation. The mound of the pretorium stands in 
the middle of the square, while the stones which faced the em- 
bankment inside the fosse lie buried in the face of the breast all 
round the outer vallum. Looking north, across Holden Clough, 
in a direct line with Caster Cliff, on the top of ‘‘ Beardley Hill,” 
are the remains of another large camp, in the form of a square 
eighty yards across, while to the south, still following a direct 
line to a spot on Worsthorne Moor there is a camp an exact 
facsimile of the ‘* Twist’? camp. Crossing Worsthorne Moor, 
and over by the contemplated reservoir bank to within a short 
distance of ‘‘ The Maiden’s Cross,” there is another camp of a 
similar construction to that on Worsthorne Moor, in a good 
state of preservation. This is within a short distance of the 
Roman road over the “‘ Long Causeway.” Several more camps 
exist to the southward. 
The sanguinary struggles which took place during the century 
after the departure of the Romans ended in the complete conquest 
of the Celts, and it is to the Saxon occupation of the district 
embracing the Pennine Range to which I wish more particularly 
to draw your attention, and to some of the footprints they have 
engraved on the book of time. In studying the roots of names
