Location
Bridge over the River Soch, on the outskirts of Botwnnog village in open meadows on the W side of the minor road leading S to Llandegwning.
History
Stone bridge probably dating from the mid-C19.
Exterior
Random rubble. Three small semi-circular arches, with stone voussoirs spanning openings approximately 2.5m wide. Projecting cutwaters in centre. Low parapet walls are coped with roughly squared stone blocks, and continue to E and W.
Reason for designation
An attractive mid-C19 stone bridge of vernacular character in a very prominent position in open countryside.
