NN12NE 20 1680 2739.
SE of Glenorchy Church (NN12NE 8), an embankment incorporating three arches carries the old road from Bonawe via Stronmilchan to Dalmally across a backwater of the River Orchy and an area of marshy ground for an overall distance of 63m. This structure has been extensively rebuilt during the present century; the central arch, which has a span of 8.6m and a heiht above water-level of 3.2m, is now the only part that appears to be of the same date (1780) as Dalmally Bridge (NN12NE 19).
Visited July 1970.
