Note 115b — Chapter VI · THE FIELD OF THE BATTLE OF TOWTON. [81a]
Reading edition
P. 125. In one of my visits to Dintingdale, I met with a labouring man there, who informed me that he recollected the discovery, about eighteen years before, of a pit or hole, at Dintingdale, on or close to the turnpike road, containing human bones. As I received that information from him in August, 1853, the discovery must have taken place about 1835.
