Abstract:		 AOC were commissioned in March 2009 to undertake a detailed stone by stone survey of the Alum Scar bridge prior to its refurbishment. The work was followed by a structural and archaeological watching brief which monitored the sections of the bridge exposed and recorded any finds and features uncovered. The bridge stands over the Alum House Brook and forms part of a road that may date as early as the 17th century and was used to access the alum mines at Alum Crag to the south. The bridge is certainly shown on 18th century maps though it is difficult to determine whether the bridge depicted is that standing today. The design and construction of the bridge, however, appear to date to the late 18th/ 19th century. The preliminary survey was undertaken using a laser scanner and was accompanied by a full photographic record. The watching brief results suggest that the bridge is probably of one build, although the upper courses of its northern side may have been repaired. The bridge was filled with multiple layers of sterile, redeposited natural clay and stone. The only internal structures observed were two stone buttresses supporting the central arch.
