Notes about this historic site
1A report was received that possible bridge remains had been seen in the River Anker, 175m south-east of Ratclifee Bridge where timber piles have reportedly been observed in the past. A site visit in June 2008 noted rubble, including three large blocks of stone in the river close to the southern bank, and a layer of mudstone fragments 0.2m thick extending over 4m in the bank. The material may represent metalling for a ford or watering place.
