Hey up Brigantian or anyone else really who knows owt about it,

The Roosdyche?......I kinda thought that that had been proven to be a natural feature...some kinda crazy glacial feature.....
It's what's marked on the O.S map today, sorta on the eastern side of the village.....

I'm not nay-saying or owt......I knew the mighty Barnatt had drawn a map, which you/has been posted...but I also sorta thought he drew it before he was firmly strapped into his no-nonsense, straighty brown brogues....
Thats sorta it really.....not saying this is fact or owt....I know next to nowt about Whaley Bridge....apart from there's some decent 'mushie' fields up there at the right time of year.....

nice one
stu.

stu , i didnt know that Barnatt had made a map of the Roosdyche id love to see it .This is not it ,this was drawn up my father David Barnett .Proving the Roosdyche was man made site and not from glacial creation is one of his ambitions .He no longer lives in the area and kind of passed his finds and maps and correspondence on to me . The paper on glacial creation is flawed in several places and written in language the campaign for real English would laugh there tits off at .Simply looking at an aerial photo on the multimap site disproves it .The ditches carry on long after the point that the geologist mapped them at then reappear again in bings wood and wrap round in the fields behind old road in fragments .What is needed for an Ancient history Archeologist to look at this site again .Sorry about the quality of photographs submiited iam having to scan in originals .My good photos seem to contain to many pixels to upload ,can anyone help me with this ?

Hey stu,

Any idea where the Barnatt map is located?
I had a good shufty about today (see far too long fieldnotes)...

Cheers
