An advertifement has lately appeared. in 
the Manchefter papers, announcing that the 
turnpike road leading from that town to the 
matket-place in Bolton-le-moors, has lately 
been fo far reduced, as not to extend to the 
dength of +1 miles, as formerly, by reafon 
of the feveral diverfions that have been lately 
made in the faid road: 
An ancient ftone pillar, in a high ftate of 
prefervation was found, a few weeks ago in 
the bed' of Artlebeck ftream o1 ume? at 
Caton, about four miles from, Lancafter. It is 
about eight feet high, end bears an infcriptioa 
dedicatory to the Emperor Adrian, the con- 
cluding line of which is not perfeétly legible, 
but which is fuppofed to be in the ufual ftile 
of Roman military ftones. The circumftance 
-of finding this pillar, confirms the fuppofition 
of a Roman military way having paffrd thro” 
Lancafter, (judged to be the Lonpczicum, of 
the Romans) to Bremetonare,the Over-burrow 
of our day.
