"The name of BRUGH leads one to think of a station there.
And when I was upon the spot I saw and heard such evidences
as leave no room for doubt. The station has been a little to
the east of the church, near what they called the old
castle, where there are the manifest remains of its
ramparts. On the west side these remains are most distinct,
being about six chains in length. And Severus's wall seems
to have formed the north rampart of the station. I was
assured by the person to whom the field belonged, that
stones were often plowed up in it, and lime with the stones.
Urns have also frequently been found here. I saw, besides an
imperfect inscription, two Roman altars lying a door in the
town, but neither sculptures nor inscriptions are now
visible upon them. I saw also a large stone coffin standing
in the church yard, which has been dug up hereabouts not
long ago. If, besides all this, we consider the distance
from the last station at Stanwicks, I think it can admit of
no doubt but there must have been a station here, though
most of its ramparts are now leveled, the field having been
in tillage many years. I shall only farther add, that it was
very proper to have a station at each end of the marsh,
which, if the water flowed as high as some believe, would at
that time make a kind of bay; and then the station here, and
the next at Drumbrugh castle, would be the more necessary."

Burgh on Sands is supposed by Horsley to be Axelodunum. The
station has been a little east of the church near what is
called the Old Castle, where are manifest remains of its
west rampart, six chains long, and Severus' wall seems to
have formed the northernmost. Stones with lime are
frequently plowed up there, and urns. ...
