Description

Mid 18th century. Single, high round-arched humpback bridge. Rubble construction with squared voussoirs, banked abutments. No parapet or road surface surviving.

Statement of Interest

Similar in form to Old Bridge over River Dulnain, in Carrbridge. It was apparently superceded by the later Forss Bridge of Forss downstream.
