Saddleworth, and along the fide of Knot-lane, and 
fo crofles over the prefent road from Manchefler to 
Huthersfield at Delf, and goes over the fields to 
Caftlefhaw. 
At Caftlefhaw I was welj pleafed to find a double 
Roman camp, and on looking into Ravennas’s geo- 
graphy to find between Mantio and Camboduno the 
name of Alunna, which, in my opinion, is the name 
of this camp. 
It was abfolutely neceftary for the Romans to have 
a camp hereabout, confidering it was the main pafs 
over the hills and the difiance about a Roman march : 
that from Caftlefhaw to Manchefter is reckon’d ten 
miles, and the camp is about half a mile beyond ; 
but as the prefent road is two miles about, it will be 
about 9 computed miles, and lying at the very foot 
of the greater ridge of hills, was a proper refling- 
place on their marches. 
From the camp looking toward Manchefler, on 
the top of Knotthill, yon fee on the very top a very 
confpicuous Roman tumulus but of this more anon. 
From Alunna or Caftlefhaw the Roman way goes 
directly for the hill called Clowze-mofs, where it was 
cut thro’ the mofs, and is called Old Gate, being vi- 
iible by the greennefs of its trad: ; fo over the top 
of Clows or Clowze-mofs. It is vifible in a green 
trad over the Reaps (a hill fo called) leaving March- 
hill or Mavfhill a little to the north, and Marfden 
about a mile and a half to the fouth, pointing diredly 
on Pole- moor, going in its way over the middle of 
of Holm-moor, and fo diredly up Cupwith-moor to 
Polemoorftone, or Guide-poft, above Slaighwait or 
Claighwait, and along the north end of Gowkerhill
