| formed by the turnpike road and the lane | ||||||
| running South West, as the Boundary | ||||||
| between the Riding and Corbridge, is a tumulus | ||||||
| having much the appearance of being artificial | ||||||
| placed at a bend in the Watling Street, and | ||||||
| Commanding a view of Corbridge, about 50 | ||||||
| Yards on the south of Farnley Farm House | ||||||
| the Watling Street again appears branching | ||||||
| off as it were from the turnpike Road; traces | ||||||
| of it may be seen in the field opposite the | ||||||
| House, where the tenant describes the | ||||||
| quantity of stones he has taken out of it. I[t] | ||||||
| continues its Course at about 100 Yards | ||||||
| from the Turnpike road, on the South of it, | ||||||
| till we arrive at Tinkler Bank, where it | ||||||
| is about 175 Yards to the South; and at | ||||||
| about 380 Yards beyond the turn down the | ||||||
| declivity to Corbridge; the Watling Street crossed | ||||||
| the turnpike road diagonally, and in a | ||||||
| graceful curve descended the only easy | ||||||
| declivity along the precipitous bank of the | ||||||
| River Tyne." | ||||||
