(NT 3314 6570) Newbattle Bridge is possibly a 16th c structure which has been extensively rebuilt. Its two wide, slightly pointed arches are relatively modern. An illegible, weather-worn armorial panel is above each of the arches, on the W side of the bridge.
RCAHMS 1929, visited 1921
This bridge has been much restored, although the carriageway is still only 3m wide. The armorial panels have been removed. No date stone is visible.
