summit of Boolsworth to Colne Water, about four miles, and from the boundary of Brier- cliffe nearly to Emot, about three. It may therefore be estimated, allowing for irregu- larities in the outline, at ten square miles, or 6,400 statute acres. At the time of the great Inquisition of 1311, it consisted of five booths or vaccaries : the agistment of each was valued at ten shillings. [Foresters ofTrawden.

In thd commission of approvement, 22nd Hen. VII. these were reduced to three ; namely,
Over and Nether Wycoller, old rent paid by Peirs 1 1 nn j XIIIS- Foldes, Piers Hartley, and other ould tenants Wynewall . . vil. A very moderate advance for the latter years of Henry VII. The name of Berdshaghbooth is now become obsolete, and is lost in that of Trawden proper. To these has since been added Emot Moore, a more recent improvement, which pays II. 5s. Id. ; and as the last improved rents of Henry VII. were fixed and rendered perpetual by the decree of James I. the whole forest now pays 291. 5s. Id. The next, and most extensive of the chaces, is ROSSENDALE ; which, including Brand- wood, Cohope, and Lench, originally members of it, though in the parishes of Rochdale and Bury, cannot contain less than twenty-four square miles, or 15,360 statute acres.* I was once inclined to deduce this word from the British rhos, a bottom; but the following etymology, for which I am indebted to Baxter (vid. Gloss, in voc. Carnovacce) is much more appropriate. Pagus isle, de ILussco puto graminum colore, Hossen dicitur, I/din ejusmodi criceum pascuum Britannorum vulgo Rhos dicitur. If there was a circum- stance about the place which would strike the observation of the first colonists above every other, it must have been the brown and dreary hue of its native herbage, which the labours of three centuries have not been able to overcome. Within this chace, in the neighbourhood of Broadclough, are the remains of an entrenchment called THE DYKES, to which no tradition is annexed that may serve to ascertain either its antiquity, or the end it was designed to answer. It is cut out from the gentle slope of a rising ground, in one direction, nearly parallel to the horizon, for more than 600 yards in length, not exactly in a right line, but following the little curvatures of the surface. In one part of the line, for about 100 yards, it appears to have been levelled ; and in another, where it crosses a clough, is not very distinct : but more than 400 yards of the line exhibit a trench eighteen yards broad in the bottom, and of pro- portionate depth : a most gigantic, and at the same time almost inexplicable work, 3 as it
Hartley's passed, by marriage, to the Cunliffes of Hollins in Accrington, and is now the property of Henry Owen Cunliffe, Esq.
and Cheshire: with a chapter on the Geology of Rossendale by Captain Aitken, J.P., Vice-President of the Manchester Geological Society, and Observations on the Botany of the District, by Abraham Stansfield, President of the Todmorden Botanical Society, has been published in 1868. Rossendale is now essentially a manufacturing valley, and for its modern history the reader must be referred to that work, and to the particulars derived from it in the new edition of Baines's Lancashire, vol. ii. pp. 44 et seq.~] * [Mr. Newbigging (Hist, of the Forest of Rossendale, p. 10) states that the dyke is 11 or 12 feet high in the deepest part ; that it extends from the farm called Dykes House to the edge of Whitaker's Clough, not continuously, BOOK III. CHAP. IV.] ROSSENDALE. 315
could only have been intended for some military purpose ; and yet, in its present state, must have been altogether useless as a fortification : for, though it would have defended a great army in front, yet their flanks might have been turned with the greatest ease, and the whole might have been destroyed in their trenches, from the high grounds which immediately command it. On the whole, I am inclined to think it one side of a vast British camp, which was intended to have been carried round the crown of the hill ; but for some reason, never to be recovered by us, was left in its present unfinished and useless state. Abating for the herbage with which it is covered, the present appearance of it is precisely that of an unfinished modern canal, though much deeper and wider in its dimensions. At the time of the great Inquisition in 1311, here were eleven vaccaries (or loci vaccarum, as they are called), of which the herbage is valued at ten shillings each. These were increased, in later times, to nineteen, including the laund or park of Musbury.

Transactions, ix. 21, 42), as to its bung an unfinished work, suggesting that the rising ground in the rear and extremities was protected by strong natural defences of trees and underwood. The tenant of the farm on which the dyke is situated has frequently dug to the depth of six, eight, and even ten feet, and has always found the soil " loose and intermixed with sticks and bark."]

II. and there were several renewals to the same family. 4 The first mention of Rossendale, by name, is in the memorable story of Liwlphus, dean of Whalley, who, at a place called Ledmesgreve, cut off the tail of a wolf in hunting.* The ordinary period allowed by chronologers to human life, together with the number of deans in succession from Liwlphus to those whose sera is ascertained, will carry up this event to Canute, in whose charter of the forest we have seen that the existence of this animal in England, though contrary to the vulgar tradition, is expressly referred to. 1 In the Inq. of 1311, Hoddlesden is neither included in Rossendale nor Accrington. 2 Vide Dr. Hickes ap. Thoresby's Due. p. 267. [In 1850 a handsome church was erected at Musbury, of which Mr. Shellard of Manchester was the architect.

Dedi etiam eis in foresta mea pasturam illam quse dicitur Brendwude, ad eorum animalia pascenda, per divisas subnotatas, scilicet a Goresichelache usque Cuhopeheued, et sic sicut Coliope descendit in Yrewil, et sic [per] Yrewil usque Fulebacope, 2 ' deinde ascendendo usque Saltergat, et sic usque Hamstalesclowe, et sic usque Denesgreue, 3 et sic per transitum muse 4 usque Cumbehepli ad Gorsichelache : habebunt autem predicti monachi in pastura ilia C. vaccas cum exitu duorum annorum ; et si animalia ibi habuero, eorum animalia pascent et ibunt in latum et in longum ubicunque mea pascunt et vadunt, $c.
