A HISTORY OF DERBYSHIRE 



The ' Rhedagua ' alleged at Eyam is a mere absurdity [Wood, Hist, of Eyam, 

 p. 32 ; Leyland, Peak, p. 102]. See Chapel en le Frith. 



FAIRFIELD Low. A mile N.E. of Buxton, tumulus, and near its centre a kiln-fired slate- 

 coloured urn found 1895 and taken to be Romano-British. Other remains in the 

 barrow were apparently not Roman. [Ward, Brit. Arch, /issue. Journ., new ser. vi. 222. 

 Turner, p. 116, in his account of the barrow, does not mention this urn.] 



FENNY BENTLEY. 'Urn and coins of the Roman period,' found about 1712 [Bateman, 

 Festiges, p. 158]. Other remains, found since, seem not Roman \_Proc. Soc. Antiq. xvi. 

 174, 211]. " 



FRITCHLEY, see Crich. 



GATLEY Low. The coin of Honorius mentioned Derb. Arch. Journ., vi. 105, is due to a 

 misreading of Bateman, festiges, p. 38. 



GLOSSOP. Fort at Melandra, p. 210. Hoard at Padfield : see Padfield. 



GREENHAIGH, OR GREENHII.L LANE. Hoard : see Alfreton. 



GRINDLEFORD BRIDGE. On East Moor, at Robin Hood's Pricks, large urns, at least one 

 containing ashes, among stones [Wilson, cited by Bateman, Diggings, p. 247, 252]. 



GRINDLOW (2 miles N.W. of Eyam). Barrow with interments of various dates, including 

 bits of two Romano-British sepulchral urns [Bagshawe, Reliquary, iii. (1863), 206]. 



GRINLOW (above Buxton). Urn near surface of barrow, supposed Roman [Proc. Soc. Antiq. xv. 

 424 ; Turner, p. 94, Brit. Arch. Assoc. Journ., new ser. vi. 2 1 8]. 



HADDON. Roman altar dug up in the grounds belonging to Haddon House : see p. 252. 



At Upper Haddon in 1826, potsherds (including pelves) and a few coins of 

 Constantine I. and Crispus [Bateman, Vestiges, p. 159 ; Lomberdale Home Cata/.,p. 150 ; 

 hence Watkin, &c.]. 



In Haddon Field, near the river Lathkil, and opposite Conksbury, barrow opened 

 1824 ; in it, besides the primary interment, many Roman ' Third Brass' : 9 Constantine I., 

 17 Constans, 9 Constantius II., i Urbs Roma, i or 2 Constant! nopol is, 5 Valentinian, 

 12 Valens, 3 Gratian, and some illegible in all 70 or 80, and also some bits of lead and 

 glass. [Bateman, Vestiges, p. 30, Mitchell in B. M. Add. MS. 28,112, f. 41-4. From 

 Bateman, Jewitt, Intel/. Observer, xii. 347, Watkin, etc.]. The deposit appears to be a 

 hoard of fourth-century copper, and not, as Bateman says, a secondary interment. 



HARBOROUGH ROCKS, see Brassington. 



HART HILL MOOR (near Birchover). In the rocks of Robin Hood's Stride, a ' Third Bronze ' of 

 Tetricus and potsherds, found June 1845 [Bateman, festiges, p. 130]. Roman potsherds 

 are said to have been found more recently in a cavity showing signs of artificial enlarge- 

 ment, but no details are recorded. [Information from Mr. J. Ward.] 



HARTINGTON. At Brundcliffe (2 miles north-east of Hartington) barrow opened in 1847, 

 skeleton in wooden coffin, jar of bright red wheel-made ware, 8 inches high, perhaps 

 Romano-British, and iron knife, not dateable. [Bateman, Vestiges, p. 101, Lomberdale 

 House Catal. p. 90, Sheffield Mus. Catal. p. 211, with cuts: from Bateman, Intel!. 

 Of/server, xii. 347]. 



At Banktop, in tumulus opened 1853 'Romano-British' potsherds [Bateman, 

 Diggings, p. 86]. 



HAZELWOOD. Near the rifle butts on the Chevin, 9 coins, of which 2 Antoninus ; between 

 Hazelwood and Shottlegate, a ' Third Bronze ' of Victorinus. [Dr. Cox, cited by Watkin, 

 Derb. Arch. Journ., viii. 2O2.] 



HOPTON (2 miles west of Wirksworth), at Abbot's Low, inscription p. 252. 



HUCKLOW. In Hilltop Mine, spades resembling certain oakspades (supposed to be Roman) 

 which were dug up in Shelve lead mines in Shropshire : other, seventeenth-century, tools 

 were found at the same time. [Brit. Arch. Assoc. Journ. xxx. (1874), 222]. For the 

 Shelve spades see Murchison, Silurian System, i. 279, Way, Arch. Journ. xvi. 33, etc. It 

 is unfortunately impossible, on the scantily recorded evidence, to prove that either the 

 Hucklow or Shelve spades are Roman. To do that we should need to know that they 

 had been found in close association with Roman objects and no others, or that their 

 shapes were definitely Roman. 



LANGWITH. Near Langwith Wood, and a quarter of a mile from Scarcliffe village, in 

 October, 1 876, a hoard of some 2,000 ' Third Brass ' in a jar, 2 feet below the surface. The 

 B. M. catalogued 1,647, v ' z -> J Valerian, 191 Gallienus, 10 Salonina, 9 Postumus, 

 255 Victorinus, I Marius, 685 Tetricus (father), 241 Tetricus (son), 185 Claudius 

 Gothicus, 3 Quintillus, 3 Aurelian, 63 uncertain. The other 350 included many
