AN ACCOUNT OF A ROMAN PUBLIC WAY. 545 
again, exactly where it was expected to be found, 
in the ditch near the junction of the foot-roads, 
on the west side of Randswood Field. The dis- 
tance of Randswood from Chorlton Fold is nearly 
three miles; and this close agreement of the Ro- 
man Road, with the straight line drawn on the Map, 
proves the great accuracy of the Ordnance survey. 
The Road is found again in an old grassy lane, 
called Cooke’s Lane, on the east side of the brook. 
The road is here paved with large stones, and is 
very perfect. 
It is found again, by the white Brook-gravel, 
in the ditch in the Big Woodleys. 
The Roman Road appears to have passed 
through the Wacker’s Wood,* and over the little 
brook, Ellen,} exactly where the declivity of the 
bank is sloped away, on the line of the present 
Road through the Wood. 
The Roman Road is found again, on Moseley 
* Wacker’s Wood is probably Waeg-ers Wood, that is, the 
Great Way through the Wood. 
+ Ellenbrook, is probably Ellenbrough, that is Al-an-brough, 
Stone fort on the brook.
