Abstract: |
Surveys were made of the remains of the Roman bridge, and Anglo-Saxon watermill at Corbridge which were both threatened by river erosion. At the bridge masonry was revealed which belonged to a massive and elaborately decorated bridge, the extent and state of preservation of the remains revealed was remarkable. However, the remains both on land and in the water were seen to be suffering constant and severe damage, the evidence suggested that this damage had greatly increased in recent years. At the Anglo-Saxon mill the remains of a least one and possibly more horizontal-wheel watermills were recorded. The evidence suggested that a millpool and associated structures such as leats were likely to be well-preserved beneath the present river bank. Again the remains in the water were seen to be suffering constant and severe damage from river erosion, and again damage had increased in recent years. [AIP] |
