A list produced about 1509 covers fortifications in the north of modern Northumberland (much of this was part of the Palatinate of Durham at that date) with suggestions for the size of garrison each place could accomodate. The Mense (the mars) is a level district of great fertility, extending for nearly twenty miles along the north bank of the Tweed, and about ten miles in breadth.
