 348 THE MAIDEN WAY, generally called the Red Roads, at 2720 j^ards it passes the foundations of a small turret about 9 yards 8(}uare, There is a large stone lying here with a round hole worn in it by the door. The view from this point to the east and north is very extensive, embracing a large district of high ground called Tweeden Head and Ivcrshope Head to the soutli-east, and the vallies of the Liddal and Hermitage Waters on the east and north, with the long ranges of picturesque moun- tain land which bound these beautiful vales on every side. The Maiden Way here takes a direction again nearly due north, and aims for Castleton. There is an old drove road alono- it called the Red Roads. Cadger Bond, Flight, and Clinticood. The other line of road called the Cadger Road has proceeded onwards to the north-east through some broken and mossy ground, and about 9GU yards crosses a small rivulet called the Harden Burn, at the Cadger Ford. On the west side of the water there appears to have been a con- siderable embankment full of stones. About 900 ^^ards forwards it crosses another small beck, and then enters into several old enclosures, and passes the vestiges of two ancient encamj^ments. The western one is known by the name of the Fhght. The foundations of several buildings are still visible, and the ti'accs of the ramparts and fosses show that it nuist have occui)icd about three acres of ground. At the eastern end is a deep ravine through which the Clintwood Burn falls from the adjacent hills. On the eastern side of this ravine, and at the distance of about 300 yards, are the traces of ramparts, fosses, and buildings, covering an area of more than two acres, and generally known by the name of the Clintwood Tower, or the Castle of Clintwood. A stell or sheepfold now marks the site.
