Description
The causeway between the eastern and central bridges is clearly visible, standing c.0.5m above ground level. A sandstone kerb is clearly visible between the central and western bridges. This is associated with a slight earthwork 0.2-0.3m high and some traces of cobbles. This suggests that there is also a causeway here. Intermittent traces of cobbling and kerbstones extend for up to 30m west of the western bridge.
