. The Victoria history of the county of Lancaster;. Natural history. ANCIENT EARTHWORKS term ' Roman Camp.' The site is in the centre of Mellor Moor, upon- the rounded top of the highest hill in the neighbourhood, which rises 735 ft. above sea-level ; the sides of the hill slope away gradually all round, making the position an excellent one. The views on all sides are- exceedingly extensive, ranging from the estuary of the Ribble on the west to the mountains of the Pennine Chain on the east; a finer spot for erecting a fortified post could hardly be imagined. The ' camp ' is but small, inclosing an oblong interior area only 60 ft. long by 35 ft. broad ; this is raised about 3 ft. above the level of the adjoining ground. Around it is a rampart, now 2 ft. high, inclosed by a fosse about 5 ft. deep from its upper- most edge. Outside this is a second rampart, rising about 2 ft. higher than the ground outside. The inclusive measurements of the work and its defences- are 130 ft. by 110 ft., and the ground covered by it is about three-eighths of an acre. This earthwork has been described as Roman by many writers, partly on account of its form, and partly because of its supposed connexion with the Roman fortress at Rib- chester. It has also been suggested that it is a small homestead moat, which it somewhat resembles in size and plan ; but the situation is far too exposed and bleak for that. The work would seem rather to be a military out- post of some sort, perhaps dating from the days of the Civil War. That it is not of the time of the young Stuart Pretender, as has been suggested, is proved by the fact that it was mentioned by Dr. Kuerden before the close of the seventeenth century.** Below is a list of earthworks which can either still be seen or have been described by Mellor various writers as formerly existing in the dis- trict. Pending further investigation and classification, they must here be placed in Class X, as falling under none of the previous headings. Whethe
