This earthern mound or dyke was built by Telford to prevent seawater flooding of the low-lying land watered by the rivers Carnaig and Fleet. Its construction severely tested the builders and was superintended by John Mitchell, Telford's resident deputy in the Highlands.
The bridge is the most northerly section of the mound, and is overshadowed by the new A9 bridge. It is both beautiful and unusual in form, incorporating non-return valves in the form of wooden flaps. Small stone buildings on each side house winding-gear to raise some of the flaps so as to allow the passage of fish. The posts upstream of the bridge are intended to protect it against floating debris and ice-floes.
The Dornoch Light Railway crossed the bridge between 1900 and 1960.
