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. |

We have been trying to identify a causeway on this higher ground which was possibly used until about 7th century. |
A full interpretation of the landscape of 1066 will be published during 2007. The flooding pattern help to confirm the model developed from all of the bore-holes.
