Extract

On the south side of the river Mersey, (or as some call it, the Edrow) near Wooley-bridge, in the township of Gamesley, and parish of Glossop, in Derbyshire, is a Roman station, which no writer has mentioned, nor did any one know (as far as can be informed) that it had been constructed by that people, till July 1771, when I made the discovery. The country people give it the name of Melandra Castle; the area of it is called the Castle-yard, and eleven fields adjoining to it are named in old deeds the Castle Carrs.
