Why it mattered
bridge — KILTARNAGHT matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A bridge identified as an integral component of the late nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of the outskirts of Newport on account of the connections with the extension of the Mayo Branch of the Midland Great Western Railway (MGWR) line (opened 1894) by the Midland Great Western Railway (MGWR) Company with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the rock faced dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement in a sylvan setting. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
