    Anyone know what a "Foot Stick" as referred to on the 25" OS maps is? The one I'm looking at is in/on a river

    Thanks in advance

    A foot stick was a wooden feature of some kind that was used as a crossing point on the watercourse. Usually something like a log, or a pole.

    Thanks - you are correct - I found this online -

    "a tree trunk or pole forming a very narrow crossing of a stream, just adequate for someone on foot"
