Sites and Monument Record: Bonnyhill Bridge (SMR 1971)

Description
A single-arched stone bridge set at an obtuse angle to the stream 230m NE of Bonnyhill Farm It is not a true skew bridge and the angle is dealt with by allowing some of the arch stones to protrude beyond the parapet. Above the centre of the arch in the SE facing elevation is an oval panel containing the date 1831. The ends of the abutments are in poor condition and the NE parapet has been replaced with shuttered concrete.

Site history notes
The bridge was evidently constructed in 1831 as part of a new road alignment through Bonnyhill Farm to replace that which passed beside disused ironstone pits to join the Drove Road. It was never completed.
