意味（1）

(historical, England, dialect) A ford.

The Romans had a bridge across the Eden near where the Caldew falls into the larger stream; had that bridge been in existence when this road or track was first made, its makers would have gone to the Roman bridge, and not to the deep and dangerous wath at Etterby. This ancient road and the ford at Willie-of-the-Boats were not superseded until[…]1816.
