Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out byduring the construction of a new invert slab below the bridge. No conclusive evidence for a bridge pre-dating than the current structure was exposed, although a short length of a possible earlier wall was discovered within the central pier. The central pier had been altered with the addition of a counterfort and refuge on its downstream side. Its construction necessitated the removal of an earlier cutwater. The eastern face of the northern arch had also been rebuilt, perhaps following an historic flood event. A wing wall on the southern bank, upstream of the bridge was also recorded. |
