(Location cited as NS 535 963). Cast-iron bridge, Kelty Water, mid-19th century. A curious bridge, with 'cast-iron truss' sides, with circular-section top and bottom members. The cross members are fastened to the sides by wrought iron or steel ties. Now strengthened by a steel support on the concrete piers at the mid-point of the span.
