LITTLEBOROUGH, (Nottinghamshire) formerly in the manor of Mansfield, was long ago famous for its ferry over the Trent into Lincolnshire, 3 m. S. of Gainesborough. It is supposed to have been the Roman Agelocum, and near it have been found Roman urns, and other antiquities, besides great numbers of coins ploughed up, called swine-penys, because these creatures sometimes rout them up. Many little coins like flatted peas, called mites, are also found here. In 1718, two altars were dug up, which are let as piers in the wall on the side of the steps that lead from the r. to the inn, Mr. Ella, vicar of Rampton hard by, collected several of the fwine-penys, and Mr. Hardy had a large urn with a female face on it. The Trent has wasted away part of the E. side of the T. and foundations and pavements are visible on the bank, especially in the field near White's-bridge. On the E, side of the r, there has been a camp. There are several springs hereabouts, especially on the top of the heath, which are said to flow and ebb with the Trent, though some are 5 m. distant.
