A small bridge across St Margaret's Brook, Cornhill, Hemyock.
This stream which now separates Hemyock Castle from St. Mary's Church used to flow into the castle moat. Just occasionally, heavy rain on the hills turns St. Margaret's Brook into a torrent; water sometimes even rushes down Cornhill, past the Church, across Fore Street and on down Station Road. This is possibly the reason behind the holes at the bottom of the wall across the bridge.
