Why it mattered
bridge — Kilmainham matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This well maintained stone bridge is enhanced by its setting within a small public park and is an interesting part of Kilmainham Wood's architectural heritage. The variations in the limestone dressings create textural interest. The stone parapet has been replaced by cast-iron railings. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
