Field Visit (10 June 2010)
This bridge, which is situated 330m SE of Bardister, crosses the stream that links the Loch of Bardister to the N and the Loch of Kirkigarth to the S. It comprises two drystone abutments 0.6m apart and 0.7m high, which support a decking of two large roughly horizontal slabs. This decking measures 1.2m in width, but the length of the abutments and the breadth of the revetted track to the W indicate that it was once at least 2m wide.
