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.
