prefent highway being found out fome time fince in 
their grandfathers or great-grandfathers memories; 
and that the old highway was along the track of the 
Roman road. 
But to turn to the map of Lancaftiire in Gibfon’s 
Camden’s Britannia, vol. 2. lay a ruler from the 
junction of the Medlock and Irwell over Newton, 
and drawing a line quke beyond Saddleworth, about 
half an inch on the line, on the eaft of the river 
Taume, will be this lituation of Alunna or Caftle- 
ihaw Note, Saddleworth is not a village, but a large 
valley, and therefore ill laid down in the map. The

and laying one edge of your ruler to the junction of 
2 fmall rivers or brooks, you fee to the north of Sad- 
dleworth. Let the fame edge be placed at Raftrick, 
and a line drawn from one end or the jundfion of 
the river to Raftrick will reprefent the road, as far as 
I have traced, to within a mile or lefs of Raftrick.

Gowkerhill, or upon Lindley-common, but was dil- 
appointed, and could hear of no camp thereabouts, 
except one at Kirklees, where there is a large Ro- 
man camp, tho’ it feems to lie a little too much to the 
fouth ; unlefs the road gave a fmall turn to pafs the 
Calder at fome more convenient ford : or, if the 
Roman road paflcd the Calder at Brighoufe, as I 
fufpedt,
