Multiple-arch stone bridge over the River Boyne of late medieval origin. Built of random rubble with limestone coping and dressed limestone voussoirs. Originally constructed with eight arches of which the central four are significantly larger. Original bridge was widened to the south and extended by three large arches at subsequent dates. Triangular plan cutwaters to both upstream and downstream sides of the bridge, many of which have been carried up to create pedestrian refuges in the parapet wall.
Kilcarn Bridge was closed to traffic in 1977.
