In which I try to work out what a bridge mentioned in the early medieval records was like and what it was for
If you want to pursue the bridge = causway idea, then have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarlabanke_Runestones
(From memory - Bridge-building is mentioned on runestones as a pious act as it enabled parishoners to traverse water/boggy ground to attend church)
