Description

Boo Backit Brig is a late 18th century single-span bridge that is narrow and features a keystoned arch. The bridge is constructed from stugged ashlar and has parapets. The road level to the north has been broadened and heightened, which has caused the bridge to appear asymmetrical. There have been some recent repairs made to the parapets.
