Background
History
The bridge carried the Roman road Dere Street across the river. Piercebridge Roman Fort guarded the bridge. The first bridge was built around 90 AD, but this may have been replaced by a second bridge after it was washed away. The Tees has narrowed and changed its course over the centuries and as a result the remains lie in a field around 90 m south of the current course of the river, and about 450 m east of Piercebridge.
