Agar Bridge is a fine stone bridge that forms an imposing and picturesque feature on the Slate River and is one of a group of bridges on that river in County Kildare. The construction of the arch that has retained its original shape is of technical and engineering merit. The bridge exhibits good quality stone masonry and fine, crisp joints. The bridge is of considerable social and historic interest, representing a component of the nationwide road network development in the late eighteenth/early nineteenth centuries.
