Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken of pre-strengthening works over the southernmost pier of the medieval half of Catterick Bridge. Excavation of a 20m length of the western carriageway exposed the mortar bonded stone core of the bridge pier at a maximum depth of 2.7m. The internal elevations of the bridge spandrel walls and their uneven construction from courses of river cobbles in sand or mortar was observed. Further evidence for the survival of a considerable length of the eastern face of the original bridge was noted and a second course of masonry was recorded beneath the first order of offset chamfered stones set into the eastern bridge spandrel wall. The uppermost of these protected a small area of an earlier cobbled road surface only 0.40m below the modern road level. Elevations of the two bridge pier bases on the southern riverbank were drawn and photographed following the excavation of trenches adjacent to them. Part of the broken base of an abandoned cutwater against the southern bridge abutment was recorded. [Au] |
