About William Bridge
The National Inventory rates William Bridge Regional, one of 92 in Maynooth. William Bridge dates from 1790–1800. 73 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
William Bridge is a fine rubble stone bridge that forms an attractive feature on the Lyreen River 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.

Questions about William Bridge
Is William Bridge on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 11803087).
Can you visit William Bridge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was William Bridge built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1790–1800.
Is William Bridge protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
