Red sandstone overbridge built to carry a farm track from the B6367 road to the farmstead of Halflawkiln.
The bridge has been bypassed by a track using the surface of the infilled railway cutting, thus avoiding a sharp bend.

Field Visit (April 2009 - February 2015)
The Borders Railway Project proposals are to reinstate the Newcraighall to Tweedbank section of the former Waverley Line. The reinstated railway line will be approximately 48km long and the majority of the route will use the existing railway embankment.
Several field surveys, archaeological evaluations and standing building surveys were undertaken by CFA Archaeology from April 2009 until February 2015.
