What is recorded here

Triple-arched road bridge over River Flesk, built c. 1850. Random rubble stone walls having rubble stone copings. Round arches having tooled voussoirs. Corbels of arch centering remain in situ.
This bridge is a solidly constructed example of a nineteenth-century road bridge, unusually with round arches. It serves as a reminder of the quality of engineering and local craftsmen's skills in the district in its era and helps to contextualise the architectural heritage of the surrounding area. The bridge is one of a number such structures in the immediate area and forms and interesting contrast to Ward's Bridge, a larger structure which bridges the same river to the immediate west.
