Appraisal
This bridge is a fine and stout rubble stone bridge that forms an imposing feature on the stream that passes through the heart of the village of Kill. The construction of the arches that have retained their original shape is of technical and engineering merit. The bridge exhibits good quality traditional stone masonry. The bridge is of considerable historical and social significance as a reminder of the road network development in Ireland in the mid nineteenth century.
