[508] "Ipse comes tenet in dominio Bishopstowe, et ibi est castellum ejus quod vocatur Montagud. Hoc manerium geldabat T. R. E. pro 9 hidas, et erat de abbatia de Adelingi, et pro eo dedit comes eidem ecclesiæ manerium quod Candel vocatur." D. B., i., 93a, 1. [509] _Itin._, ii., 92. [510] From a description communicated by Mr Basil Stallybrass. The motte is shown in a drawing in Stukeley's _Itinerarium Curiosum_. The "immense Romano-British camp" of which Mr Clark speaks (_M. M. A._, i., 73) is nearly a mile west. [511] Mountjoy, Monthalt (Mold), Beaumont, Beaudesert, Egremont, are instances in point. [512] _Gaimar_, 214, Wright's edition. Gaimar wrote in the first half of the 12th century; Wright states that his work is mainly copied from the _Anglo-Saxon Chronicle_, but its chief value lies in the old historical traditions of the north and east of England which he has preserved. [513] Hodgson's _History of Northumberland_, Part II., ii., 384, 389. [514] This account is taken from a description kindly furnished by Mr D. H. Montgomerie. [515] Bates' _Border Holds_, p. 11. [516] _Simeon of Durham_, 1080. "Castellum Novum super flumen Tyne condidit." [517] See the map in an important paper on Newcastle by Longstaffe, _Arch. Æliana_, iv., 45. [518] _Guide to the Castle of Newcastle_, published by Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle, 1901. [519] Longstaffe, as above. [520] "Condidit castellum in excelso preruptæ rupis super Twedam flumen, ut inde latronum incursus inhiberet, et Scottorum irruptiones. Ibi enim utpote in confinia regni Anglorum et Scottorum creber prædantibus ante patebat excursus, _nullo enim quo hujusmodi impetus repelleretur præsidio locato_." _Symeon of Durham_, R. S., i., 140. [521] "Castellum di Northam, quod munitionibus infirmum reperit, turre validissima forte reddidit." _Geoffrey of Coldingham_, 12 (Surtees Society). Symeon says it was built "precepto regis." The keep was extensively altered in the Decorated period. [522] _M. M. A._, ii., 331. [523] _Richard of Hexham_, 319 (Twysden). [524] "In illa terra de quâ Herold habebat socam sunt 15 burgenses et 17 mansuræ vastæ, quæ sunt in occupatione castelli; et in burgo 190 mansuræ vacuæ in hoc quod erat in soca regis et comitis, et 81 in occupatione castelli." D. B., ii., 116. This shows that the castle and its ditches occupied ground partly within and partly without the ancient _burh_. [525] Harrod's _Gleanings among Castles_, p. 142. [526] The authorities from which this map is compiled are not given. [527] The "new borough" at Norwich was the quarter inhabited by the Normans. D. B., ii., 118. "Franci de Norwich: in novo burgo 36 burgenses et 6 Anglici." Mr Hudson says that Mancroft Leet corresponds to the new burgh added to Norwich at the Conquest. See his map in _Arch. Journ._, xlvi.
