A HISTORY OF DERBYSHIRE 



clear whether this is a separate hoard or the hoard of 1748. In the latter case that 

 extended later than Reynolds discovered. 



Stukeley (Account of Rich, of Cirencester, 1757, p. 62) puts a ' station ' here, but 

 Pegge rightly observes that no remains have been found to justify the idea. At Ufton, 

 mile N.W. of Alfreton, foundations have been noticed, and called Roman, but nothing 

 has actually been discovered. Pegge, Roads Through the Coritani, p. 27, note ; Watkin, 

 Derb. Arch. Journ. viii. 192. 



ARBORLOW. Prehistoric stone circle, excavated 1901-2. Three rude potsherds, taken to be 

 Romano-British, were found close to the surface with earlier and later objects within the 

 circle. This indicates, at the best, a very slender occupation in the Roman period 

 [Archeeologia, Iviii. 480, 484 ; Derb. Arch. Journ. xxvi. 589, 69, 77]. 



A WOOD DALE. See p. 238. 



BAKEWELL. The tepid waters (temperature 60 Fahr.), helpful against gout and rheumatism, 

 are sometimes stated to have been used by the Romans, and an old stone plunge bath, 

 15 by 36 feet in area, now destroyed, has been called Roman work. This is 

 improbable. The only remains likely to be Roman which have been recorded hence 

 are some potsherds dug up on the site of the Congregational Chapel in 1 844 

 (Lomberdale House Collection, p. 146), and a two-handled, amphora-shaped urn (with a 

 green glaze), containing a bronze bell and calcined human bones, found in Church Row 

 in 1808 (Bateman, Vestiges, p. 163 ; Sheffield Museum Catalogue, pp. 215-6). And 

 it is not quite clear that either of these finds is actually of Roman date. The idea that 

 the Saxon name of the site, Badecanwylla, denotes the existence of a bath is (as 

 Mr. Stevenson tells me) quite wrong. 



(near). Between Bakewell and Winster, hoard of ' Third Brass,' found some years 



before 1778, by a woman searching for waste lead ore. It contained about a quart of 

 coins ; four seen were : i Urbs Roma (Treveri mint), i Licinius (SALNT), i Constan- 

 tine Junior, i Diocletian [Reynolds' Notebook, printed Derb. Arch. Journ. viii. 224 ; 

 brief reference in Arch. x. 31]. 



BALLIDON. For Minninglow, see that name. 



BARLBOROUGH. Several coins [Pegge, Arch. x. 30, hence Watkin]. 



BELPER. Aureus of Augustus found near Belper about 1803 [Davies, p. 344 ; hence Glover, 

 ii. 1 02 ; Bateman, Vestiges, p. 158, etc. Davies mentions also 'military weapons' found 

 hereabouts, which may be anything]. 



A ' Second Brass ' of Maximian, a coin of Elagabalus Qewitt's papers, in possession 

 of Sir H. Bemrose]. 



BENTY GRANGE (near Monyash, on the line of the Roman road between Brassington and 

 Buxton). Part of an enamelled dish, found with an iron helmet (having a silver cross 

 and boar's crest) and drinking cup showing the development of Late Celtic art in post- 

 Roman times. Bateman, Lomberdale House Catalogue, pp. 159, 160 (Nos. 53> 57) an ^ 

 plate, now in the Ashmolean. Compare A. J. Evans, Arch. Iv. 193, and the item 

 under Garrett Piece, Middleton. 



BOLSOVER. Two small 

 copper coins (i Vic- 

 torinus, i Constan- 

 tius II.) found 1845 

 [Bateman, Vestiges, 

 p. 1 60 : hence Wat- 

 kin, etc.]. 



BORROWASH. See Ock-

BRADBOURNE. The 



sculptures mentioned 

 in Arch. xii. 6 (plate 

 iii.) seem not to have 

 been Roman. For
