Mr. Horfley fays, that the Roman way is not 
known betwixt Overborrow and Manchefter. Bre- 
mentonacis is agreed to be Overborrow, and the mi- 
litary way is very vifible in feveral places, as I have 
myfelf feen ; but take the words of Mr. Rothmell. 
“ The Roman way begins at the fortrefs of Rib- 
a chefter, and runs north over Longridge-fell, and 
<c difcovers itfelf by being green, when the reft of 
<c Longridge is heathy and morally on both fides the 
£< Way; upon which account it is called Green-lane. 
“ As foon as it reaches the north fummit of Long- 
cc ridge, it makes a right angle, and runs on the 
“ north fide of the hill towards the eaft. And after 
<£ fome length it turns by degrees to the north g and 
ec then points dirediy towards Overborrow. It en~ 
ters Yorkshire a little below Dowford-bridge, and 
<c proceeds in a dired line by Newton and Slaitburn 
<c to Crofs of Greet. It is very apparent on the 
a north fide of Tatham-chapel. It runs thro’ Bent- 
<c ham to Overborrow ; but the improved country 
<c fhort of Overborrow has eradicated it. It was 
“ open’d, on the ground being improv’d, near Dow- 
<c ford bridge, and was paved 7 yards broad,” 
Now, as this proves, that there is a Roman high- 
way betwixt Ribchefter and Overborrow, fo the' 
Roman highway betwixt Manchefter and Ribchefter 
is well known. 
From the fort at Manchefter it goes along the 
Deanfgate by the old church down the Huntsbank,
