Newcastleton, Boosie Plantation, Short Sike Underbridge

Bridge (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Newcastleton, Boosie Plantation, Short Sike Underbridge remains an unclassified bridge in the Scottish Borders, hiding beneath a plantation where the land still claims back what people forget. The exact point is known to the nearest metre, yet the structure itself resists easy dating or description. A road may have crossed the sike, a cart wheel worn smooth by rain and gravel, while the bridge disappeared into shadow and soil. It is the kind of place that remembers being useful long after people stop naming it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newcastleton, Boosie Plantation, Short Sike Underbridge as Bridge (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
