Appraisal
This footbridge is a fine stone structure that forms a picturesque feature on the Graney River and is one of a group of bridges on the section of that river that passes through County Kildare. The construction of the span is of technical and engineering merit. The bridge exhibits good quality stone masonry and fine, crisp joints.
