Suisgill Bridge

The basement of Suisgill Bridge is south of the hamlet of Upper Suisgill, east of the A897 and close to Suisgill Burn in the Helmsdale valley at Strath of Kildonan in Sutherland in Scotland .

The southwestern end of the northeast-southwest oriented basement was destroyed during the construction of the road. The preserved part is 4.1 m long, 1.3 m wide and 1 m high. Immediately southeast of the basement there is a roughly round platform that could have been the position for a building. On the surface above the basement there is a plate with five flat bowls ( English cups ).

The finds are in the Inverness Museum .
