Etymology
Mill Scut Bridge (6″) is named from the Mill Scutt 1704 BevRec. Scut is clearly connected with the word scut 'embankment (?)' (v. NED s.v.) and is perhaps related to scud 'to hasten,' etc. In all probability it refers to the inflow or outflow of a watermill separated for a short distance from the main stream (Milnebek 1202 FF) by an embankment.
