COLE : ROMAN REMAINS AT FILEY.

Brigg. Another purely Xorse word. Icelandic, brygga= 
a pier, landing stage. It is so used to-day in the 
harbour of Bergen. 
SpittaL 1 cannot account for this word as applied to 
the projecting masonry, only uncovered at very low 
tide, unless it is a form of spit = a spear or lance, Dan., 
spyd, meaning here something which sticks out. 
Anyhow the names Carr Naze and the Brigg point to Xorse 
occupancy, and not to Roman, 
Finally as to the inscription, " Caesar se quam spe," Mr. 
Haverfield remarks, "The genuineness of the inscription may 
be doubted. I am inclined to think it forged. Certainly nothing 
can be guessed as to the sense of it from the letters now upon it."
