 Saddleworth Seven One Two
Tracing the Route of Roman Road "Margary 712" Through the Oldham area to Castleshaw
Donald Haigh and the "712 Group", 1982
A combined team from the Bradford Grammar School Archaeological Society and the Saddleworth W.E.A. trace the Route of the Roman Road from Failsworth to the Castleshaw Roman Forts.
By studying aerial photographs, fieldwalking and excavations the group managed to disprove some previously thought routes and mapped the majority of the route of the road from Failsworth to the Forts.
We are very pleased to have been given permission by Donald Haigh to produce a digital edition of this booklet and is available from the Documents page.
