Maiden Way
The Maiden Way or Maidenway (Middle English: Maydengathe; Medieval Latin: Via Puellarum) was a roughly 20-mile (32 km) Roman road in northern Britain connecting Bravoniacum (Kirkby Thore) with Magnae (Carvoran). It was sometimes considered to have run east along Stanegate to Banna, then 7 miles (11 km) north to the Shrine of Cocidius (Bewcastle), and thence to Liddesdale but the identity of this course as a single road is problematic. After the passing of the Romans, it was used as a drover's road. The route was probably named for the "Maiden Castle" guarding the pass at Verterae (Brough).
