Description

This is an early 19th-century single-arched bridge that spans the Polwarth Burn. It is constructed from ribbon-pointed sandstone rubble, featuring tooled rubble voussoirs for its small, round-arched openings. The bridge has splayed walls topped with cement and rubble coping, and it includes circular-plan terminal piers. Later repairs have been made to the structure.
