Piercebridge Roman Bridge
Piercebridge Roman Bridge, Roman bridge ruins near High Coniscliffe, England.
The stone remains of the bridge span 123 meters and include five massive piers with partially intact abutments revealing wooden fitting holes.
Built around 90 AD to carry Dere Street across River Tees, the bridge structure was discovered during gravel quarrying operations in 1972.
Archaeological excavations at the site have yielded numerous military and domestic artifacts now displayed at the Bowes Museum.
The bridge remains are located 90 meters south of the current River Tees position and 450 meters east of Piercebridge village.
Some archaeologists suggest the structure might have functioned as a navigation dam, indicating extensive Roman river transport systems.
