Kinderton ; it being on a Lingula, which Congleton 
is not. A Roman camp, which I am well allured 
by a friend to be there, marks the very place, as the 
pointing of the Roman road confirms the opinion. 
And in the tenth Iter, Condate being placed in the 
road to Mediolanum fhews it to be eafterly of Chef- 
ter. I fay, all thefe reafons confirm me in a belief, 
that Condate is Kinderton. Mr. Horfley obferves, 
that Condate fignifies the confluence of two rivers ;

Mancunium is agreed to be Manchefterv The 
Roman fort is at Knotmills, and ftands on a high* 
piece of ground overlooking the confluence of Irwell 
and Medlock, but nearer the Medlock, that river 
running within about 60 yards of the fort. The 
fort is fquare, and has been furrounded with a wall. 
The whole fort is 6 or 7 feet higher than the reft of 
the hill ; and the whole ftrongly cemented with mor-

way thro’, a rock under it. So that, from the fitu-

of Mancunium j in Britifh Mae?i Cline , i. e. the ftone 
city. 
The Roman road from Mancunium to Eboracum or 
York goes near the top of the Deanfgate in Manches- 
ter, and crofting the inclofures on the fouth-eaft end 
of the town appears in an inclofure near Ancoats $ 
then runs thro 5 Bradford, and croffes the very middle 
of Newton-heath, Newton chapel ftanding on the 
very ridge of it. Standing at the weft end of the cha- 
pel, you fee the trace of it into Bradfdrd-lane ; Hand- 
ing at the eaft end, you fee the trace of it go betwixt
