544 AN ACCOUNT OF A ROMAN PUBLIC WAY. 
and is found again near the school in Crossfield. 
It is here a little below the surface, and is closely 
paved. 
In Big Lady Hill Field, on the west side of 
the Old Hall, at Worsley, the Road was found 
by Lord Francis Egerton’s workmen, when they 
were making a drain. 
The Road is found again, in Bushy Hill Field, 
on the north side of Randswood,* crossing a line 
of old oak trees, which have stood in a hedge-row. 
The cop and the hedge have been lately taken 
away; but, they had been set, as old hedges 
generally were, upon the Roman Road; and 
they had preserved it both from the spade and 
the plough. The Road is here quite perfect : it 
is closely paved with large stones; and it has a 
smooth, flat surface. 
On the Map made under the direction of the 
Board of Ordnance, a straight line was drawn 
through the Roman Road, in the Heath Fields, 
and this line was found to pass near the junction 
of two foot roads, in the Randswood field ; and, it 
is remarkable, that the Roman Road was found 
* Rand is edge or boundary.
