Details Bridge that spans the burn on Old Military Road from Keith to Fochabers with a date stone, 1757, on the South-West side which is rather worn, the figure 5 is particularly faint. It is now a forestry track. It is a single span field rubble with a tooled rubble arch ring. There is a turf deck. It has an approximate span of 14 feet and approximate height of 10 feet. The bridge in reasonable condition, the stonework semi-dressed and well mortared. A cairn blocking vehicular access states that the bridge was built by Caulfield 1767, and was restored 1989 by the Youth Employment Training Scheme. There was originally no parapet, however a visit on 03/10/1990 shows water washed stone parapets had been added above the original stonework that are unsympathetic to the original design, and cement showed coping stones had been in place but were now removed.
