558 AN ACCOUNT OF A ROMAN PUBLIC WAY. 
Wigan, and the reasons for supposing that Wigan 
is Coccium, are given in Mr. Baines’ History of 
the County of Lancaster. It may be added, that 
four of King Arthur’s battles are supposed to 
have been fought on the banks of the Douglas, 
Mr. Baines’ Hist. Lan. vol. I. page 30; and, that 
a piece of high ground, near the Scholes, on the 
banks of the Douglas, is called King Arthur’s 
camp. 
In the VII. Iter of Richard of Cirencester, 
the route of the Iter is from the port of the Sis- 
tuntii, through Rerigonium, to Alpes Peninos, 
&e. It is generally agreed, that the port of the 
Sistuntii, was on the Ribble, and that Pendle 
Hill is one of the Alpes Peninos, the Peninos 
being echoed in the name Pendle ; and, then, the 
intermediate Station of Rerigonium must be Rib- 
chester; and, therefore, Ribchester cannot be 
Coccium. See Mr. Whitaker’s History of Man- 
chester, Book I. chap. v. sect. 1. page 176.
