On arriving at Raindale Mill, a small valley is seen running up to the moors on the right, and about half a mile beyond, there is on the same side a more considerable opening, on the south of which is some elevated ground, where stands the village of Newton. A little to the west upon the brow of the same hill, and in a most commanding situation at about a mile distant from the railway are to be found Cawthorn Camps, the most complete remains of Roman fortifications in the district.
