Description

The Bridge of Dava is a late 18th century single span bridge that has undergone some reconstruction in the later 19th century. It features a roughly dressed ashlar segmental arch ring that springs from tooled rubble abutments. There has been some rebuilding, particularly noticeable at the eastern bank where there is a sharp curve. The approximate span of the bridge is 36 feet.
