Description
Bouthray Bridge is a bridge, likely dating from the 18th century, constructed of stone rubble. It features two segmental arches, with the eastern arch being wider. There is a central pier built on a concrete base, which includes a cutwater on the north side. The bridge has a plain parapet that is inscribed with "CC/BOUTHRAY BRIDGE". It has been widened, evident from the straight joint at the soffits of the arches.
