The line of the beck that was revealed by the
deep soil cores is evident during a modest
flood. The old route and its course to the Ings is the first to flood as
water rises. |

The upwelling is at the spot where the old route reached the Ings (see map
at the top of the page). |
This might be an old culvert built when the bridge was
built and the beck re-routed. No records of this work can be traced. |

This photo was taken from the Stone bridge, the old course of the beck runs between some
raised land and the modern route. |
We have been trying to identify a causeway on this higher
ground which was possibly used until about 7th century. |
