  Piercebridge
"The old antiquaries have always taken an interest in Piercebridge, and they have recorded the various discoveries made by chance in the neighbourhood, but it was not until the systematic excavations in the years 1933 to 1935 that the main problems in connection with its date, size and purpose were settled.
The present bridge at Piercebridge is higher up the river than the original one, and the detour needed to reach it has made a break of about six hundred yards in the line of the Roman way, where it approaches and leaves the Tees.
"The present bridge at Piercebridge with its three pointed arches dates from the early sixteenth century, and there records showing that, at several subsequent periods, it was in sad state of ruin as a result of damage caused by great floods in the river.

  Brigantes Nation Piercebridge
With Piercebridge in mind Selkirk points out the difficulties of navigation on the tidal rivers of Britain, in summer in particular the already low water level would drop significantly at low tide, grounding ship too high up the river and making it only navigable at times restricted by the tide and the general water level.
The structure at Piercebridge is traditionally interpreted as a bridge carrying Dere Street over the Tees: Selkirk believes it to be part of a spillway to help regulate the river level, and that the real bridge is nearby.
In all a strong case is put for extensive use of waterway's by the Roman's including the possibility of similar structures to the Piercebridge 'dam' elsewhere in the north east (Hylton, Sunderland) and also in other parts of the empire.

 HOLMES HOUSE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
The Holmes House location is not spectacular, and it is possible that this fort was succeeded after a short period by the better-placed camp at Piercebridge.
Three-quarters of a mile south-east of Piercebridge (Durham), at Holmes House farm, on the south bank of the Tees, a fort is represented by a single broad ditch enclosing an area of about 270 ft. from east to west by 240 ft. from north to south.
The position is unsuitable for a bridge-head fort, while the work can hardly be contemporary with the {53} fort at Piercebridge less than a mile away.

 ROMAN INFLUENCE
This occupation, lasting over three centuries, together with the fusion of the invading armies with the native population brought a measure of economic prosperity shown by the growth of settlements around the forts, for example the large town that grew up at Catterick or the villa-type settlement at Piercebridge.
While building an extension to the gasworks (now long demolished) workers found a road approximately 12 feet wide which extended from the west wall and appeared to follow the riverbank and head up the hill.
This road is thought to be part of the roman road from Bowes to Binchester joining the other Roman road from Piercebridge to Binchester near Bildershaw.
