| Lilliard's Stone | Lilliard's Stone | continued | is that a young female, belonging to the town of Maxton having lost her relations & lover when "Evers" destroyed her native village, swore to revenge their death, & accordingly she joined the army of the Scots & performed deeds of valour - she was buried where she fell, near to the edge of the Roman Road. There seems to have been another stone on which the above inscription is said to have been cut, but was broken in pieces previous to the middle of the last century- In the answers made to "Maitlands Queries" in 1743, we find it stated that the monument was then destroyed, and that the inhabitants of that day were indebted to tradition for the words of the inscription- It is doubtful if ever any monument was erected |
