Thanks all.

I'm also not convinced it's a bridge. There is no evidence of any other 
structure at each end of the handrail. I suspect the small bit of wood 
is local improvisation on what is basically just a ford.

I have now tagged it as a ford, with handrail.

I'm not convinced most folks would call this a "stream", it's little 
more than a ditch. But the wiki says both "ditch" and "drain" are 
man-made, and this looks natural. But there is no natural watercourse 
tag available smaller than "stream".

n.b. the iD editor is now showing this as an error: "Stream crosses foot 
path", even though tagged as a ford.

cheers,

Martin.
