Page 22:-  "here [roman fort, Lancaster] is the late discovery of a Roman pottery, at Quarmoor, near Lancaster. That these works have been very considerable may be supposed from the space discoloured with broken ware, the holes from whence the clay has been taken, and the great variety of bricks, tiles, and vessels that are found about them."
