Roman Bridge (continued)
It is without parapets, & owing to this and the almost base arch of the Bridge, as well as the rough state of the Roman Road leading to it from Dalziel, it is very seldom used for horses or vehicles. The Roman Road is a Public Right of Way.
No traces of the Roman Road or the site can be found on the west side of the Bridge until upon the Farm of "Bellshill Park". XI-8.Trace2; about a mile & a quarter north west of this. The name of the Bridge as "Roman Bridge" is widely known for miles around, & whatever doubts there may be about its date, or by whom constructed, there is every reason to believe the Road leading to it from Dalziel Parish to be of Roman construction. ( See Name Sheet of Roman Road/Watlin Street/Trace1.XI-8)

The last two personal authorities quoted have particularly one of them & the late Mr. Hamilton, a gentleman who was noted for his knowledge of antiquities of every age, has no doubt of this being a Roman Bridge.
