Note 131 — PART IV THE SUPPORTING STATIONS OF THE WALL.

Horsley, near the close of his work, was less opposed to this view than at the beginning. In a note (p. 481), he says—‘I see no reason to change my sentiments concerning any one of these stations; except that I am more inclined to yield to the common opinion, that Bremetenracum is at Brampton, and to think that Olenacum and Virosidum are transposed; so that Olenacum may be Ellenborough, on the river Ellen, and Virosidum, Old Carlisle, on the Wiza. And if the military-way near the Wall, which goes by Watchcross, has led to Brampton, as the country people suppose, this might still make it more probable, that Brampton is Bremetenracum.’
