Description
The Bridge of Dun is an A-listed structure featuring three wide segmental arches supported by free-standing quatrefoil columns in the Langley pattern, which rise from bullfaced cutwaters. The bridge is constructed of ashlar stone with droved voussoirs. It has long ramped approaches on either side, divided into three compartments, with the outermost compartment containing a segmental flood arch and the innermost featuring sunk double crosses with trefoil heads. At the top of the approaches are obelisks, while short quatrefoil spired pillars are located at the bottom, all made of pinned coursed rubble. An inscription on the southeast obelisk notes the construction dates: "This bridge was founded on the 7th June 1785 and finished on the 27th January 1787 by Alexander Stevens."
