==History== thumb|A lidar view of Burwen Roman forts one within the other A Roman fort lies at about north-west of Elslack. The fort may have been named Olenacum, or Ριγοδουνον, according to the analysis of Ptolemy's coordinates by Kleineberg et al. It guarded a Roman road linking two other forts: Bremetennacum at Ribchester and another at Ilkley. This road has been traced by archaeologists running north-east up Ribblesdale about east of Clitheroe. Then at it turns eastwards passing Barnoldswick, Elslack and Skipton.
