The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in the SMR (1991) and RMP (1997) as ‘Miscellaneous’, this record refers to a possible bridge reported to the SMR by a local source in 1990 A note in SMR file says it might be an ‘ancient’ bridge or a horizontal mill –this suggests that timbers may have been visible here. Deer bones and antler fragments were also found (SMR 1990). No archaeological remains were visible when the location was inspected in 1998.
