| Abstract: |
It had been previously thought that Wye Bridge, Hereford, from its structural style and from Duncumbs history was built in the 15th century. Documentary evidence however, showed that a bridge was first mentioned here as early as the first quarter of the 12th century and that it was in need of repair by 1230. It was hoped that evidence for the 13th century gatehouse would be discovered, but the work identified and recorded very little of archaeological interest. The most important feature was a patch of cobbled sutface, just below the level of the tarmac road on the south approach to the bridge, representing remains of an earlier street level.[Au(abr)] |
