Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during the reconstruction of the Lawford Lane cycle/bridleway bridge. The excavations revealed a sequence of post-medieval and possibly earlier tracks, although no finds predating the post-medieval period were recovered, and no evidence was seen for a putative Roman crossing point or road thought to have existed here.. Environmental samples taken from two layers sandwiched between track deposits revealed that that the margins of the river were shallow and muddy with an abundance of club-rush and sedge fruits while the banks of the River Can became overgrown with wetland herbs, ruderal weeks and colonising shrubs between the laying of the first track surface and its subsequent resurfacing. The samples also revealed that the land-use around the river remains similar to the present day - a mixture of arable and meadow. Several timbers relating to a 1940s / 1950s wooden bridge, the precursor to the concrete footbridge, were revealed within the upper stratigraphic layers.
