About Devonshire Bridge
The National Inventory rates Devonshire Bridge Regional, one of 15 in Kill. Its record dates Devonshire Bridge to 1790–1810.
Devonshire Bridge is a fine stone bridge of unusual height that forms an imposing feature on the Grand Canal and is one of a group of bridges on the section of that canal that passes through County Kildare. The construction of the arch that has retained its original shape is of technical and engineering merit.
