350 THE MAIDEN WAY, at the farmhouse at Castleton, which stands on the east side of the station, show stones ivsenibhng those found in Ivoniau masonry, and two K(»mau roads cross each other at this point, namely, the .Alaiih'ii Way. and the road cahed the Black-ate. The ]laiden Way crosses the Liddal on the cast side of the Castle of Liddal, and appears to pursue its course nearly due north over the moor to the valley of the TTermitage river. Rising out of this vale it follows the course of the Thief Syke, through the Hartsgarth Farm, aiming for the ruins of the Ilart.'^garth Tower. Here it is usually called the Thief lioad. kSomewherc in the vicinity of the Hartsgarth or Gorcnbury Towers, it would fall into the ancient Roman road, which is supj)Osed to have run between Netherby and Trimontium, or Eildon. Before taking leave of the Maiden Way, I would again suggest that if Whitley Castle be the Alionis, then Bewcastlc will be the Galava, and Castleton the Glanavcnta, of the Tenth Iter of the Itinerary. I am quite aware that these stations have been differently placed ; that Ambleside has been considered by some as Alionis, Keswick as Galava, and Ellenborough as Glanavcnta ; whether on sufficient grounds or not appears doubtful. So far as the etymology of the words is of any authority, Castleton appears to have a decided preference over Ellenborough. The old word Glanna means a glen, and while there is nothing deserving the name to bo seen at Ellenborough, Castleton is defended by two such jrlens as are seldom found in such close connection with each other. In the map of Ancient Britain, published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, Glanavcnta is placed at Ellenl)()rough, Galava at Jveswick, and Alionis at Amble- side, and this appears to be on the authority ol' Btolemy and the Itiiiei-ary of Antonine.' In this ma)), however, the road is only laid down from Ellenborough to Bapcastle, while the counti-y Ijotween i'apcastle and Ambleside is without any trace of a road. The jiosition, therefore, assigned to this Iter on this map, cannot have been made on sufficient evidiMico. i'x'sidfs, 'i'.
