RERE-CROSS, or Rey-Cross, the base of an ancient cross, within an ancient camp, on the E border of Westmoreland; on Stainmoor, near Watling-street, 4¾ miles E by S of Brough. The cross is supposed to have been erected by jointly William the Conqueror and Malcolm of Scotland, to mark the boundary of their territories, and was called originally Roi-cross, or the Cross of the Kings. The camp is Roman; has a rhomboidal form; and measures about 270 yards in length, and from 180 to 250 in width.
