What is recorded here
Triple-arch road bridge over Glen River, built c. 1810. Rubble sandstone walls and parapets with render copings. Dressed limestone string courses above round arches having cut-stone voussoirs and prominent keystones. Ashlar limestone U-cutwaters to north and south elevations.
Lacka Bridge is a fine example of the technical achievements of early nineteenth-century craftsmen and engineers. The round arches form a strong, rhythmical silhouette in the landscape. The ashlar cutwaters and voussoirs add decorative interest to the bridge. The dressed voussoirs set against rubble stone walls add textural interest.
