[1] The ford was probably a few yards north of the modern main road Oversleyford Bridge, where a minor road bridges the Bollin; that minor road is now a back entry to a hotel's front yard but was part of the A538 road before it was diverted for a runway extension.
The name Oversleyford is at the middle of the south edge of this old Ordnance Survey map.
Remains of a timber long house were found near at Oversley Farm during the building of Manchester Airport's second runway.
[2][3] Oversley Farm has been described as "by far the most important prehistoric site within the boundaries of the twenty-first-century city ... [and] ... one of the most important in the North West".
[4] It is the site of an Early Neolithic farming community, although it is now underneath runway two of Manchester Airport.
