Kirkhaugh Bridge abutments is a scheduled ancient monument located approximately 800 metres north-east of Whitley Castle in Northumberland. The abutments represent the surviving structural remains of a bridge crossing, though detailed records concerning its original construction date and precise function remain limited in the scholarly record. The site's proximity to Whitley Castle, a significant Roman fort on the Stanegate frontier line, suggests potential Roman or Romano-British period association, though definitive dating requires archaeological investigation. The abutments constitute an important element of the local archaeological landscape and are protected due to their potential to contribute to understanding communication and movement patterns in this strategic frontier region.
