STOCKLEWATH-BOUND, a township in the parish
of CASTLE-SOWERBY, LEATH ward, county of CUMBERLAND,
8 miles (S. by W.) from Carlisle, containing 213
inhabitants. Castle-Steads, a Roman camp, one hundred
and eighty-eight yards long, and one hundred and
sixty broad, is within this township; it has an inner
and an outer rampart, and is placed in a triangular
position with, and at an equal distance from, two other
fortifications, called Whitestones and Stoneraise, thelatter
of which, it is supposed, was originally a burial-ground of
the Druids, afterwards occupied by the Romans. About
a mile from these are vestiges of a Druidical temple,
where three stone coffins, containing human bones and
other relics, have been found; and a little to the southward
are fragments of a large rocking-stone, to which
an avenue of stones seems to have once led.
