ANTIQUITIES OF NORTHUMBERLAND. 37 



Eufy Gap ; between which and Houfcfteeds, from a rocky eminence, 

 called The Kings Crag, a little to the north, it is in view. 



There is nothing more remarkable, by the dreams of the two

We now continue our journey from the afccnt between the 31 

 and 31 mile-done on the military road, for about two miles, till 

 w^ come to an exploratory mount, with a cut through it, on the

 taken on the fpot by himfelf, and unpubliihed ; many of them 

 engraved by Mr. Gordon and Mr. Hor/Iej, but, in his opinion, infe- 

 rior to the originals. The three females, Det Matres, on one done, 

 with globes in their hands, and fhort pallia down to their knees,
