| Abstract: |
The watching brief identified at least two phases in the history of the bridge, as well as a number of periods of resurfacing on the road over the bridge. The project also identified the construction method used for the bridge. The original clapper bridge consisted of long granite beams laid across a leat. The bridge was subsequently widened with the addition of shorter beams laid along the southern edge. The use of different material in the northern and southern parapets also supported this conclusion. The last building phase of the bridge was the addition of the footbridge on the southern side of the bridge. [Au(abr)] |
