Full description

BIRD + HIRST, Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV221965.

Clapper bridge over brimpts mine 1850-55 leat. Three slabs in situ, 2.8m wide plus one other on bank that appears to have been inverted and displaced. If so, the bridge would have been 3.5m wide. This and sx67nw/310 are only 29m apart, with no separating wall or other feature and neither is on a presently used track so the reason for their close association is not apparent (bird + hirst).
