[Low Borrow Bridge] ... Behind the house is a Roman Station,
now called Castle Field, consisting of a square inclosure,
360 feet in length, and 300 in breadth. On the sides facing
the east, north, and west, are the remains of the walls; and
on the latter side, the traces of two fosses. Where the east
gate stood, is a stone, which was dug out a few years ago,
and it is evidently one of the original sockets, the groove
for the hinge remaining as perfect as if freshly cut. Sherds
of Roman pottery have been found; and a silver coin of the
reign of Aurelian. From the style of the cutting or
quartering of the facing stones, (many of which have been
used in building the outhouses, in order to preserve them,)
there is no doubt that this station is coeval with
Overborough, and is the site of the long lost and much
disputed Alone. The very name seems to warrant this opinion;
for it is the first station on the Lune (or Lone); and what
so natural as to give it the title from the river which
watered its walls? The remains of several buildings have
been discovered between the eastern wall and the river.
