045 | A small clump of fir wood on the north bank of the Ury near the farm of Bridgend. At this place the foundations of a bridge were dug up a few years ago which may have had some connection with the old castle said to have stood here, but nothing definate is known about it. This wood is the site of the small Roman Camp that formerly stood here: the name "Castle" wood was probably given to it from the Latin word "Castrum" signifying "Camp" from this word also probably the tradition of a "Castle" having stood here, was derived. - [signed] E.H.Courtney, Capt.
