Summary
During the construction of waterworks immediately to the south-east of Balderton Bridge, a causeway was revealed crossing the brook. This was found on a series of oak trunks on which a cobble and clay surface had been placed. The causeway apparently crossed the low lying stream valley. A dendrochronoligical date for one of the oak trunks suggested a C13 date for feature.
