The next inscribed to Belatucader is lost. An optio
was a deputy to a Centurion or other officer [e]. We have
this deity again in Horsley, Cumb. XXXI. Westm. III. and
Archaeol. I. 308. III. 101.
The 4th inscription is in the hall wall [f]. Horsely takes
the figure on the right side to represent Hercules leaning
on his club and holding the Hesperian apples, which Gordon
makes a patera. Stukeley changes the club into an altar and
a patera held in the right hand of a figure much more
delicate than Hercules. On the left side is Mars with his
spear in his right hand, in his left his shield [g].
The next inscription is Horsley's Cumb. LXIV. Gordon's XLIV.
Horsley inclines to refer it to Caracalla or Commodus,
rather than to Antoninus Pius as Gordon.
The four next are now lost. The word substituerunt in
the seond seems to mean that the monument being erected by
Morus Rex in his life-time and decaying was replaced
by his heirs [h].

The monument of Julia Martina, drawn by Gordon [i], exhibits
her bust rudely cut over the inscription, which is also rude
[k].
The next with the wreath supported by two Victories, is by
Horsley referred to the emperors Dioclesian and Maximian
[l].

Since Mr. Camden's time the following have been found here.

Another, LXII. supporting a sun-dial in Elenboro' garden.
Another, LXIII. given to the bishop of Man's library in that
island, whence the Society of Antiquaries had a copy of it
in 1782. Another LXVI was over a door at Elenfoot.
Another LXVII. LXIX. an altar to the local goddess
Setlocenia or Seticenia in the garden wall
[m]. A fragment of an epitaph [n].

LXII. a relief of a female with an urn [o]. Mr. Pennant
takes it for the goddess Setlocenia. LXXIII. a relief
of a woman in a bath [p]. LXXIV. a relief of an equestrian
figure [q]. Here have been since found a fragment of stone
with a rude boar and ORD, perhaps part of the name of
Gordian; an altar uninscribed, but having on one side an ax
and knife: another unfinished found in a quarry with a knife
and patera on two sides, probably waiting for a purchaser to
inscribe and dedicate it; a relief of a figure in a sagum,
holding in one hand a handled vessel like a bucket under a
pediment, engraved by Mr. Pennant, pl.III. p.53.56. but the
habit or attribute not easy to make out, nor why a
Gaul [r]; a large wooden pin with a curious polygonal
head [s], a brazen spout, and some thin gold plates. Near
the house in Hall close is an intrenchment 45 yards
by 35, perhaps the site of a mansion-house. Mr. Senhouse
clearing the station 1766, found the pavements of the
streets, foundations of houses, some of them covered with a
pink coloured plaister, several vaults, one with freestone
steps much used; fire hearths with circular backs with
remains both of wood and coal, bones and teeth of animals,
stag's horns, many of them sawed, oyster and other shells;
fragments of earthen vessels, and a handle inscribed AEL;
fragments of glass vessels and mirrors, and two pieces of a
painted glass cup [t]. In the vault before-mentioned,
supposed to be within the length of the praetorium, 12 feet
by 10½, which had been opened before and the pavement
taken up, were found a thin piece of beaten gold, a brass
ring, stag's horns, a rude relief of three female figures
sitting in three niches about a foot high; a piece of stone
with a few letters; another with a wheel of six spokes, six
inches diameter. This might have been a temple of the
Deae Matres, represented in relief. They found among
the foundations slates with holes and iron nails in them
[u]. The camp is formed on th edge of a high bank
overhanging the sea: and about 63 paces south-west from it
is a tumulus 250 in circumference, 42 feet slope, and 14
feet perpendicular, called the King's burying place.
Mr. Senhouse opened it 1763, but found under different
strata of soil (not of stones, as Mr. Gordon), only some
bones of an ox [x]. Mr. Horlsey [y] and Mr. Gordon place
OLENACVM here on the river Elen; elsewhere [z] the
former had placed it at Virosidum. Mr. Camden has
little authority for calling it Volantium.

Horlsey's LXII. LXVI. LXVII. are now in a summer-house.
A gold coin of Nero was found at Elenborough about two years
ago, on the sea shore within flood mark. NERO CAESAR
AVGVSTVS Rev. an emperor and empress, AVGVSTVS AVGVSTA [a].

Dereham.

Dearham
|
|
|
The church of Dereham was given by Alice de Romely,
widow, to Giseburn abbey. In one of the windows is an
inscription, communicated by Mr. G. Smith to the Gentleman's
Magazine, XXI. 112, where it was explained by Mr. Pegge,
255, to mean Has fenestras Galfridus Gudng
reparavit Anno Domini MCL [b].
|
Elne r.
|
|
|
Near the head of the river Elne Randulp de Engaine
chief forester of Englewood permitted the prior of Carlisle
to build an hospital for relief of distressed travellers who
might happen to be troubled by thieves or prejudiced by snow
and storms in winter. After the hospital was built a church
was erected [c].

Moricambe.

Of Moricambe see before in Lancashire, where it is
settled at Cartmel, the aestuary in the north part of
that county into which the rivers from Kendal and Ambleside
empty themselves [d].
