Comments :
All three do the same job of taking the line over small obstacles on a flat run of ground. Two are workmanlike, single segmental arches with variously shaped and angled wing walls to accommodate the burn and the road. The third was once over the entrance to the House of Rosskeen and was consequently embellished with curving walls, pillar-like abutments, a castellated parapet and even a coat of arms. A name board now declares it is the entry to a Sewage Pumping Station. [1]
