What is recorded here

Seven-arch road bridge over the River Duff, built in 1817, with random coursed limestone and cut stone voussoirs to arch-rings. Cut stone blocks to full-height up and downstream V-cutwaters with concrete plinths.

This road bridge is dated 1817 and crosses the River Duff. It is notable for the particularly high quality of the stonework not typically found on a small bridge in a rural setting. The carving on the date plaque adds interest to the parapet of the bridge.
