Placename, Maiden Way
etc
Mr URBAN, Hemingburgh, April 26.
WE meet with a short account in some historians of the
Maiden Castle, and Maiden Way, in the county
of Westmoreland, both which are affirm'd to be
Roman. (See particularly Magna Brit. Westmoreland,
p. 23) Likewise, in a MS. history of that county by the
Rev. Mr Thomas Machel, rector of Kirkby-Thor,
we have further mention of the Maiden Hold on
Speedy-Moor, near Crackenthorpe. Now, Sir, I
would gladly be informed by some of your antiquarian
correspondents, in your next Magazine, whence arose the
above denomination. Yours, &c Lasenbyensis.
