Geocache Description:

A Drive-by not far from a TRIG

The little village of Ainsworth sits on a hill overlooking suburbs of Bolton and Bury down to Manchester to the south. Although it is close to the cities, it is surrounded by pastures and farms, so that as you drive up to it you have the feeling of going out into the countryside. To the north are a few other small villages, and then the West Pennine Moors, a scenic area of forests and rolling hills. At the eastern edge of Ainsworth village is a small moor which is called Cockey Moor. There was a Bronze Age village there about 1,000 B.C. which may have been called Kokka (a Celtic word for “red earth”). On the moor have been found remains of a Roman encampment and there is an old Roman road beside it that was built in 79 A.D. It is thought this was the Roman settlement of Coccium, a name which was probably Latinized from the Celtic. Over the centuries this Roman name became anglicized to Cockey Moor. With the arrival of the Saxons, the place got another name: Ainsworth. A “worth” is a small enclosure, such as a fenced-in farm or estate. The origin of the “Ains” prefix seems lost in obscurity, though it is probably a variant on someone’s name, perhaps a Saxon name such as Einulf or Einsilf; Einsilf’s farm = Einsilfworth = Ainsworth.
