ANCIENT EARTHWORKS 



BOROUGH HILL, WALTON-ON-TRENT. 



Here are some remains of earthworks, part of which is known as the 

 Camp, as shown on the plan. But they have been so interfered with by 

 roads, buildings, and enclosures, that it would be useless to speculate on 

 their original plan. 



17. The name of CASTLE FARM (xxviii. 6), in Youlgreave parish, 

 immediately to the right hand on the road from Middleton to Youlgreave, 

 naturally excites attention, and tradition has it that it is the site of a 

 former castle of Youlgreave. At the back of the farm buildings are some 

 slight remains of earthworks, or of foundation mounds of removed build- 

 ings. The late Mr. Bateman conducted some explorations here in 1855 

 (though not mentioned in his books), but with no result. 



HOMESTEAD MOATS 

 [CLASS F (A)] 



i. APPLEBY MOAT HOUSE (Ixiii. 15). The seat of the old Appleby 

 family for many generations was immediately to the west of the church. 

 It is known as the Moat House, and there are remains of the moat on 

 the north, south, and east. Glover (1831) describes it as 'entirely 

 surrounded by a moat, with no other entrance than that of a draw- 

 bridge.' l
