Anglers and canoeists still talk of “Roman Ford” on the Swinton fishing beat immediately upstream of Mickley (turn4search0) and the name appears in estate fish-catch returns from the 1920s. The idea is that a paved crossing pre-dated the weir and was later buried beneath it. No Roman finds have been reported to PAS or the Historic Environment Record.
