The remains of the bridge over the Craigdoffie Burn. The ironstone workings were situated approx 500 metres up the hill. The dimensions of the bridge remains left in situ are; Span between abutments = 3m. Length of remaining girders = 4.5m; The 2 girders are of a double sized type and 460mm wide. The width of the abutments on each side of the burns are approx. 2.3m. With the remaining iron structure only taking up less than 1 metre of the available 2.3m of the abutments it would be fair to assume that the original bridge was wider than the present remains.
