This bridge is an attractive rubble stone footbridge that forms an attractive feature on the canalised section of the River Liffey. The construction of the arches that have retained their original shape is of technical and engineering merit. Also of technical interest is the sluice to north-west that retains early sluice gates and most of its original mechanisms. The bridge exhibits good quality masonry to the construction of the walls. The bridge is of social and historical significance, having been built as part of the planned Celbridge Abbey estate.
