On G/rtH/0M-hill, on the right hand of the road, is 



Glanton-Pike, a mount fo called from its conic form, explora- 

 tory ; on which was alfo a beacon to alarm the country by fire 

 in times of public danger; an extenfive profpect from it ; the hill, 

 called Dun's Laiv, in Scotland, being feen from it on a clear day. 



In a place, called, The Dmvflrcet, by G/ato-weft-field as a 

 mafon, by the order of Mr. Mills of Glanton-pike was digging for 

 flone in the year 1716, he discovered a flone-cheft, upwards of 

 three feet in length, and two in breadth, with a ftone cover, with 

 nothing in it ; but as his fon, now living, was working down 

 an uneven piece of ground, he difcovered three more fuch chefts 

 with covers, containing fine eatth and two urns in each, with 

 fome charcoal, and human bones carrying the marks of fire. 

 Near them were two more urns, one large, and the other very 

 imall. On being expofed to the air they all fell to pieces, except 

 one, which Mr. Mills preferved, fince broke. They were of very 

 ordinary pottery. 



A quarter of a mile north from Glanton-\vcft.-field, Mr. Mills's 

 fervant, as he was making a fence a few years. ago, turned up a 

 Jjritifo Securis or Celt at the bottom of ,a clod, well preferved $ 

 now in my pofleflion. It is of the old mixed brafs.
