Heritage listing

Date Added 21/05/2002 Date Removed: 26/10/2020 Local Authority Perth And Kinross Planning Authority Perth And Kinross Parish Logierait NGR NN 96951 54753 Coordinates 296951, 754753 Removal Reason The monument was assessed as part of the 2019 Highland Perthshire Military Road Heritage Project. It is a bridge which may have formed part of the 18th century military road network. Examples of other bridges which are designated as being of national importance retain their field characteristics to a far greater degree than this site, with a greater complexity and coherence. Based on the current available evidence, the site does not meet the criterion of national importance and the decision is removal from the schedule. — The monument comprises a bridge of uncertain date that spans an unnamed burn within the grounds of the farms of Moulinearn and Mill-lands of Dalcapon, at about 70m O.D. The bridge measures c. 3.5m between the parapets. The northeast parapet has been largely destroyed and there is a slight collapse of the carriageway on the northeast side. The bridge may have been constructed in the early 18th century as part of an extensive network of military communications. However, the present structure does not conform to other examples of bridges of this date and appears to have been significantly altered.
