Five-arch limestone road bridge over river, c.1840, with oblong cut-waters, ashlar voussoirs, cut-stone stringcourse and cut-granite coping. Rock-faced snecked limestone walls. Oblong cut-waters. Cut-stone stringcourse. Rubble stone parapet walls. Cut-granite coping. Five segmental arches. Ashlar voussoirs. Rubble stone soffits. Sited spanning River Liffey with grass banks to river.
Athgarvan Bridge is a fine stone bridge that forms an imposing feature on the River Liffey and is one of a group of bridges on the section of that river that passes through County Kildare. The construction of the arches that have retained their original shape is of technical and engineering merit. The bridge exhibits good quality stone masonry and fine, crisp joints. The bridge is of considerable historical and social significance as a reminder of the road network development in Ireland, which brought about many technical advances in the mid nineteenth century.
