Archaeologists Uncover Roman Bridge


Recommended Posts

The ruins of the bridge, which would have once crossed the River Tyne, have been undisturbed for thousands of years in Corbridge, Northumberland. The site has been monitored since the 1970s by archaeologists concerned at erosion of the remains by the river.

 

Tyne and Wear Museums' archaeology team, with the help of volunteers and trainees, started work on the excavation two weeks ago. The team has already uncovered the spectacular scale and decoration of the bridge, which would have carried the main Roman road from London to Scotland.
