End, Warren House, and Lindley Moor, to Slack. Passing 
by the station at this place, the road leads by Outlane and 
Red Lane Dyke — once, perhaps, paved with Roman bricks, 
and hence its name, — to Castleshaw, and thence to Manchester, 
the Mancunium of Antonine. These facts seem to point out 
the true direction of this iter from York to Outlane pretty 
satisfactorily. For at Rastrick, Roman remains have been 
found, which it is not necessary I should particularise on the 
present occasion, and a wayside cross of Saxon workmanship, 
which gives considerable antiquity to the road on which it 
was originally placed. 
At Rastrick, this ancient road branches off, and passes by 
Elland, Lower Edge, to Brow Bridge and Lindwell, in 
Greetland — the spot on which Horsley fixed the site of 
Cambodunum. The road thence continues along the ridge 
of Greetland Moor, from whence it commands a fine view 
of the country towards Stainland and Outlane. Passing 
onward, it reaches Wall Nook, in this township. There are 
many Roman encampments and earthworks known by the 
appellation of "wall;" and whenever the term occurs, in 
situations reasonably supposed to have been occupied by the 
Romans, the word may safely be considered a contraction of 
the Latin " vallum' ' or "wallum," and indicative of the 
former existence of entrenchments on the spot distinguished 
by the name. From Wall Nook, the road leads by Abbot 
Royd to Bank Cross, where, in the interval between them, 
several detached portions of an ancient pavement may still 
be observed on the renovated trust ; and those, no longer in 
situ, may be seen in the fences adjoining, hollowed by the 
tread of many generations. From Bank Cross, the road is 
continued to Ripponden Bank, and between these places the 
causeway still forms an interesting relic of the ancient road. 
In the Old Bank the pavement is entire. It has a central 
causeway, set with squared stones, for a carriage track on
