a houfe and a barn on the eafl end of the common. It 
then runs thro’ the inclofures to Mr. Wagftaffe's houfe* 
where it enters a lane, and is vifible enough. In about 
400 yards more, being interrupted with a mofs, it riles 
with a prodigious grandeur, and is the fined; remain of 
a Roman road in England, that I ever faw. This is 
at the back of Mr. Jenkinfon’s houfe in Failfworth s 
his land lying on both fides, and is now called Street* 
It is vifible for half a mile more along a back lane 
leading to Hollinwood, but on the lane turning to the 
common it ftrikes crofs a meadow of Mr. White- 
head’s, and is vifible for fome finall part of it. Tra~ 
dition directs its courfe to Glodwicklows ; and fome 
places, where it has been found in ploughing, fhew 
its courfe to be fo. And near Glodwick it is vifible 
in a meadow for fome fcores of yards pointing over 
the lows. Tracing it forwards it is very vifible at 
the defcent of the hill quite over Mr. James Wyld’s 
land. 
There is a fmall cob on this hill by fome fuppofed 
to have been a fort : if it was, it muft have been a 
very fmall one ; tho’ I rather take it for a tumulus 
than an exploratory tower. 
It erodes hence, and is very vifible in the grounds 
of John Mayol, of Wellihole. It then goes thro’ the 
Rev. Mr. Townfon's land, leaving Heigh- chapel a 
little to the fouth, and fo goes up the hill to * Ofier- 
lands on the upper fide of the village making to- 
wards the Highmore; and going along the inclofures 
on the fouth edge of it comes clofe to Knothill in 
E e 2 Saddleworth, 
* Here it enters Yorkftiire.
