Footbridge over Coundon Burn at NZ 2193 3075

The footbridge over Coundon Burn, dating from the 18th century, is a narrow single-span structure that carries a footpath or parkland ride at an oblique angle over the burn. It is constructed from dressed stone, with side walls and a vault made of squared stones laid in horizontal courses. The bridge features a simple pointed barrel vault that measures about 8 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, rising from low side walls and capped with earth and gravel. There are no spandrels or headwalls; instead, the gap where the north-east spandrel would typically be is filled with stone corbelling to facilitate the path's exit due to the angle of the crossing. Short training walls are present both upstream and downstream of the culvert, and the stream bed is paved through the arch barrel. The bridge also has splayed abutments on each side.
