'at Bracasty Wood, near Ripley, within eight miles of Burrowbridge, there is a delf of stone that will produce as long obelisks as these, (which is but half the way to Ilkley,) and I have seen some coins found in ruins there, which evidence the Romans were particularly resident in those parts' (Hunter 1830, vol. 1, pp. 432-3; Burnett 2020b, p. 861 n. 85)
