What is recorded here

Shankfoot Bridge spans Castlefairn Water beside Loch Urr Road, a stone or timber throw preserved in national records without a dated period. The exact position is known to the nearest metre, yet the bridge itself remains unnamed in time, suspended between eras like the water it crosses. It may have carried carts, sheep, or fleeing people across a narrow strait where Urr and Castlefairn nearly touch. Whatever it bore, the road still passes, and the bridge still holds its end against the tide.
