ROMAN ROADS. 241 



coast, without hesitation referable to the first Antonine Iter. 

 The clearest of these roads runs nearly due east by Stamford 

 Brig, climbing the Wold at Garraby Street near conspicuous 

 entrenchments, and continuing on the high region by Cottam 

 and Kilham to Bridlington, and perhaps onward to Flam- 

 borough. If this be the first Iter, Stamford Bridge is Derven- 

 tio ; Delgovitia must be somewhere about Huggate (great banks) 

 or Wetwang, and Prsetorium at or near Bridlington. Another 

 route parting from this near Stamford Bridge conducts by 

 Gallygap Eddlethorpe (tumuli), Thornthorpe (entrenchments 

 and camp near it at Langton), and Langton Wold (entrench- 

 ments) to Malton. From Gallygap an old road appears to have 

 led by Westow church (tumulus) and Hutton-on-Derwent (Gate- 

 skeugh camp) to Amotherby (on the street), and thence by 

 Barugh (camp), Cawthorne (camps), Mauley Cross, Goadland 

 Dale, Leaserigg (camp), to Dunsley and Whitby. If this be 

 taken for the first Iter, as Dr. Young first conjectured, the 

 numerals must be incorrect. Malton as Derventio would be not 

 VII., but somewhat above XVII. miles from Eburacum ; Caw- 

 thorne Camps would be Delgovitia ; and at Dunsley Bay, or 

 Dunum Sinus, Prsetorium would find an uneasy resting-place 

 for it is claimed in the direction of a third road. 



Whether this road crossed the Derwent at Stamford Brig or 

 Kexby is uncertain. It is supposed to have passed nearly as the 

 present road goes by Barnby Moor, Weighton, and Cave to 

 Brough Ferry. 



If this be the first Iter, as Camden supposed, Stamford Brig 

 or Kexby must be Derveutio, and Weighton, or some place not 

 far from it, Delgovitia. Praetorium, according to Horsley, would 

 be in Lincolnshire ; according to Camden, at Patrington ; but 

 there is no military road to this place, which has, however, yielded 

 Roman remains. 



There is even yet another old road traceable from York, 

 northwards by Stillington, Yearsley (camp), Oldstead, and the 

 Hambleton Hills, to Whorlton (castle) and Cleveland perhaps
