COLE : ROMAN REMAINS AT FILEY. 
site of Delgovitia, which at present is an unknown quantity. 
All that we know from the 1st iter of Antonine is tliat a road 
from the borders of Scotland passed southwards through Catterick 
and Aldborough to York, and was then continued to Derventio 
(vii., m.p.m.), Delgovitia (xiii., m.p.m.), and Praetorium (xxii., 
m.p.m.). The letters m.p.m. mean " millia plus minus," as 
Dr. Raven has proved to me. The distances given are therefore 
only approximate. 
By universal consensus Derventio is identified with the 
modern Stamford Bridge on the Derwent, but whether, after 
that, the road passed (a) south to Brough on the Humber, across 
Barnby Moor, or (6) east to Bridlington through Timber, or (c) 
north to Malton by Ga,lly Gap and Mook Street, and so (1) by 
Settrington High Street and the Dale towns to Bridlington, or 
(2) at the foot of the Wolds, by Sherburn and Flotmanby Street 
to Filey, it is impossible to say. Quot homines tot sententice. 
My own opinion is, after years of thought and study, and 
with a perfect knowledge of the ground, th^^t the road, a military 
way, I presume, after passing so great a distance in a southerly 
direction, would be unlikely to diverge to the north or east, but 
would continue in its southerly course across the Humber to the 
important colony of Lincoln, where it would form a junction 
with the Fosse way from Devon, and the Ermine Street from 
Colchester. 
As an alternative I infinitely prefer the road by Garrowby 
Street and Fimber to Bridlington Bay, the safest roadstead for 
ships of the period and the nearest point from York. 
I come now to the derivations : — 
Filey from Felix is manifestly " absurd " (Haverfield). 
Carr Naze. Naze or Nses is pure Norse, and one of the 
most common place-names in Norway. Carr may 
be a personal name. It occurs in the Laudna ma-bok 
of Iceland, and is widely spread in the Danish districts 
of Yorkshire, or, more probably, it may be taken from 
the numerous " carrs " which are found in the Vale 
of Pickering to the west of Filey. Icelandic, kjarr= 
brushwood.
