Full Description
Bridge over the Sheeoch Burn at Durris, built in the 18th century and now disused. Single semi-circular arch, (14 ft wide on soffit), with recessed voussoirs and flanking storm waterarch. An evaluation and survey were carried out by AOC in December 2006. The elevation survey of the bridge, which was undertaken using a 3D laser scanner, recorded a number of construction phases to the bridge. The excavation of a single evaluation trench on the east side of the bridge revealed three possible road levels. A further topographical survey of the surrounding landscape also recorded a possible trackway along the east side of the burn to the north of the bridge. No fords or evidence of other crossings were identified to a distance of 100m either to the north or south of the bridge.
Period Notes
18th century, earliest date which can be assigned is 1774 but may be of earlier construction.
Listed 18/08/1972.
