Orton Scarr, (or Rock) of which I have 
given a very imperfeét fketch from memory, 
lies on the north-eaft, dire&ly oppofite the 
lower opening of the pafS Of BrepExpair, at 
the extremity of a narrow valley, watered by a 
{mall river. The front of the precipice is 
occupied by three rows of terraces, refembling 
two round baftions, conneéted by a curtin. 
On the more level part of the hill, under the 
beacon, fome lines appear to have been drawn, 
but I had not leifure to trace them. Near the 
road, fomewhat in the rear of the terraces, 
two {mall cairns are vifible. The pafs of 
BreDERDALe, which the traveler defcends, in 
going northwards, is a fteep and winding - de- 
file, commanded by precipitous hills. Where 
it begins to fpread out towards the valley, we 
meet with a confiderable Roman ftation, occu- 
pying nearly the whole breadth of the pafs, 
from the fteep bank of the rivulet, to the foot 
of the declivity. It appears to have been forti- 
fied with care, for it is furrounded by a lofty 
double rampart, and two ditches. In the bot- 
tom, where the banks of the rivulet are level, 
appear the traces of Castze How, which I 
fufpe&t to be founded on the fite of a Roman 
caftellum, defigned to protect the watering par- 
ties. It is in full view of the ftation. Thus 
we are prefented with the appearance of two
