More information : 1. [Area centred NY 68232170] Hubner 1 lists a Ro milestone of Philip "'dug out of the military way 1694, now at Hangingshaw' (prope Old Carlisle)". He cites Hayton as his authority and wonders how the stone ever got to Appleby. Haverfield (2) points out that a. the true authority is not Hayton, but a MS note added by Gough to his copy of Hayton's catalogue of the Bainbridge collection at Appleby, and there is no need to suppose the stone ever was in the collection; b. Hangingshaw is nowhere near Old Carlisle, but is near Appleby. Haverfield suggested it might be a bad transcription of another milestone of Philip which did come from Old Carlisle [viz NY 24 NE 2], but he does not repeat the suggestion in (3), where he records the rediscovery of the stone in 1914 by Percival Ross, built into a wall of Hangingshaw Farm. Haverfield's text is: IMP CAE SARIMARCO IVLI0PHILIPPO PIOFELICI INVICTO AVGVSTO (P)ERP ETMIVLPHILIPPO NOBILISSIMO CAESARI Milestone now in Tullie House Museum, Carlisle. (1-3)
