On the Wade Road of 1728-30 (Lin 501) a low arched bridge (span 4.57m) over a small stream at Ortunan Farm (ruins) had deteriorated in past years; the upstream and downstream spandrels and a large part of the arch had fallen, the upper courses of the abutments had become loose or missing and most of the roadway had gone. In 1988 all these parts were reconstructed up to one course above roadway level, using the original stone and local sand. One training wall was extended on the upstream side.
