Some damage to stonework just about where fb expected to be.

No sign of FB on front or back face. Old stone bridge, some alterations?

Location refers to the old bridge that runs to the East of the bridge that carries the A685. Description puts the FB on the West face of the West battlement (i.e. on the 'river' side rather than the 'road' side). The wall of the bridge has evidently been rebuilt at this location and there is no sign of the FB.
