 on Rough Castle at the border of Rimside # Moor ; and most 

 abundant in old pasture at Lilburn Hill. Scots pine roots and 

 fallen trees, supposed to be native at Overthwart Moor, and the 

 Black Lough (Aydon Forest), and at Rough Castle Moss, Rimside

The Badgers still frequent Thrunton Crags, but I am told the 

 rabbit-catchers contrive to smuggle several of them away.

 Snrvey in 1888. — To it attention is directed, as of permanent value,
