The National Monuments Service's description
Road bridge (Wth 5.2m; long axis E-W) spanning the Glashananinnaun Stream. Built of random rubble sandstone. Single segmental arch with roughly shaped voussoirs; alternate voussoirs project beyond face of bridge. Upstream (S) side of bridge appears to have been extended and is now masked in concrete. Surviving N parapet has vertical stone coping and its ends curve away from road. Two rock cut steps, apparently manmade, form a cascade on the downstream side.
