- DU013-008001 Church
Description
Located in a roughly square graveyard located on a rock outcrop which has been quarried away up to the limits of the graveyard. Prior to c. 1300 this church was connected to Finglas parish until it became a chapel on the lands of All Hallows who supplied one of the Canons to say mass there. It was granted with all other possessions of All Hallows to Dublin Corporation in 1538 (Ronan, 1940, 182-194). Only grass covered wall footings of the church survive. These are built of randomly coursed masonry (dims. L13m, Wth 5.5m, H 0.4m). There are openings in the north and south walls. The east end is dominated by a large tree. Some internals burials.
