This record was listed in the Dublin RMP (1998) as 'Village' which refers to the medieval settlement at The Naul that was also known as the vill of Cruys or Cruicetown, named after the Cruise family. The medieval settlement was probably clustered around the castle (DU004-045002- ) and church (DU004-045004-) of Naul. The townland and parish of Naul stands in the barony of Balrothery West. In 1185 there is a reference to 'Stephen de Crues's [Cruise] vill' (McNeill 1950, 14). In 1292 after the death of Robert de Cruys of the Naul there was an inquisition into the extent of his estate which recorded that; 'there are the vill of Cruys [Cruicetown] 87 acres of arable land, held by the farmers, who yearly render 12d. an acre; their works are worth 7s. 5d. a year. The advowson of the church (DU004-045004-) of the vill of Cruys also belongs to the heirs' gift and is worth 10 marks a year' (Cal. doc. Ire. No. 1066, 467-8). The 1654-6 Civil Survey of Dublin recorded that in 1641, 'Christopher Cruse [Cruise] of Naal' an 'Irish Papist', was the owner of 250 acres of land in 'The Naal', on which stood, 'one old Castle with an old Hall covered with straw one Orchard one garden plott tenn tenem[en]ts Valued by ye Jury at one hundred & seaventy five poundes' (Simington 1945, 30). The lands of the Naul and the castle formed 'a mannor and kept Court Leet and Court Baron' (ibid.). The presence of 10 tenements in 1641 around Naul Castle (DU004-045004-), church (DU004-045004-) and mill (DU004-045002-), probably represented the medieval settlement of The Naul (An Aill / the cliff) associated with the Cruise family who built Naul Castle. See attached Rocque's 1760 Map of County Dublin the settlement of Naul (https://digitalcollections.tcd.ie/concern/works/mg74qp03f) Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 1 February 2023 - DU004-045002: Castle - unclassified, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU004-045002-. Naul Castle originally built by the Cruise (Crues/Cruwes) family of Cruwys Morchard, Devonshire, in the late 12th or early 13th-century. The castle also known as the 'Black Castle' stands on the E edge of a ravine overlooking the Delvin River which marks the county boundary with Meath. A holy well (DU004-045003-) lies 155m to E, Naul church (DU004-045004-) and graveyard (DU004-045005-) stands 80m to S, watermill (DU004-045001-) 200m to W, bridge (DU004-045008-) and castle (ME034-010----) 165m and 330m to WNW respectively and a mill (ME034-009----) 85m to NNW. The castle siting in the Glen of the Naul was described in the early 19th century as at; 'a bend of the glen, on one of those rocky precipices, is the keep of the ancient castle of the Naul; a few yards above it is the church, and on the opposite side of the glen is Naul Park and a large corn-mill, the mill-dam being sustained by a natural ledge of rock. Westown, the seat of A. S. Hussey, Esq. is a little above the village' (Fraser 1844, 592). The cliff-edge siting of 'The Black Castle of the Naul' is now obscured by trees but the dramatic siting of the castle was captured in an engraving dated 1820 by John Greig from a drawing by George Petrie for the Excursions through Ireland (NLI, ET A415; Grose 1791, 31-2). On the 1837 ed. OSi 6-inch map a quarry is depicted immediately to the S and SE of the castle. In 1185 Stephen de Crues, held the manor of Naul, as recorded in Archbishop Alen’s Register (McNeill 1950, 14). In 1200 AD it was recorded that ‘Stephen de Cruwes [Cruwys/Cruise/Cruwys Morchard, Devonshire] gives to the K [ing] 15 marks sterling to have his land [Naul], whereof he was disseised by the K[ing].'s order. Mandate to Meyler Fitz Henry, justiciary of Ireland, to cause Stephen to have seisin of that land; and if within the time of disseisin anything has been taken therefrom, it, shall be accounted to Stephen in the 15 marks. Further mandate to Meyler Fitz Henry, that by counsel of the Barons of Ireland he inquire and certify how much land there is there, what it is worth, and what service it owes to the K[ing]. The K[ing]. until fully certified will not give Stephen his charter’ (Cal Doc Irel. No 113, 17). In 1227 it was recorded that the King had ‘taken the homage of Robert de Crus [Cruise] for half a knight’s fee in Nalle [Naul], which Stephen, his father, held of the K[ing]. in capite, and which descends to Robert by hereditary right’ (Cal Doc Irel. No 1527, 230-1). In 1292 the king commanded Walter de la Haye, escheator of Ireland to inquire into how much land Robert de Cruys of Nalle [Naul], lately deceased held at the time of his death. According to this inquisition, Robert de Cruys held at the Naul; 'certain edifices constructed with stone walls and oaken timber. They are altogether unroofed through bad keeping, and unless quickly repaired will fall for want of roofs' (Cal Doc Irel. No 1066, 467-8). The following land at The Naul belonged Robert de Cruys; 'in the carrot field, 140 acres of arable land in demesne; in the mill plain 120 acres of land, value of each acre, 12d.; in le Resk, 20 acres value of each acre, 6d.; and 13 acres of meadow, value of each acre 12d. In the mountain there are 36 acres of arable land, held by farmers who render 4d. an acre, one moiety at the feast, of the apostles Sts. Philip and James [May 1], and the other moiety at the feast of All Saints [Nov. 1]. At Lochmoyan there are 24 acres of arable land each acre is extended at 6d.; 6 acres of meadow, value, 7d. an acre; there is a mountain there containing 17 acres of pasture, extended at 6d. an acre; there is also a pasture called la Roche, useful for sheep, the profit of which they extend at ½ mark; there is also a moor useful for oxen, the profit of which they extend at 8s.; there are 8 cottiers each holding a cottage; they render in the autumn 3 days for each cottage. Geoffrey le Bret; renders 2s. for having a water course' (ibid.). The 1654-6 Civil Survey of Dublin recorded that in 1641, 'Christopher Cruse [Cruise] of Naal' an 'Irish Papist', was the owner of 250 acres of land in 'The Naal', on which stood, 'one old Castle with an old Hall covered with straw one Orchard one garden plott tenn tenem[en]ts Valued by ye Jury at one hundred & seaventy five poundes'(Simington 1945, 30). On these lands there also stood 'one open stone Quarry also a grove of Ashtrees set for ornament' (ibid.). The lands of the Naul consisted of 160 acres of arable, 10 acres of meadow, 40 acres of pasture and 40 acres of 'Mountaine and Heath', all of which belonged to Christopher Cruse of The Naul (ibid.). The lands of the Naul and the castle formed 'a mannor and kept Court Leet and Court Baron' (ibid.). The 1820 engraving by John Greig shows the E face of the rectangular shaped tower of the castle with tall chimney stack rising from the S and N walls with the E wall of a single storey high hall building running N off the NE angle. A chimney stack is visible above the top of the E wall of the hall and this may be rising from the S wall of the hall which was attached to the N face of the tower of the castle. A buttress or wall running up halfway along the centre of the E wall of the tower is still visible today. The E wall of the hall and the chimney stack no longer survive above ground, only a short projection of the E wall of the hall at the NE angle survives. A watercolour drawing in the Grose Collection of Naul Castle by Thomas Cocking dated 1791 depicts the NE angle of the castle from the river valley looking up towards the N and E walls the castle (NLI, PD 1976 TX). On this drawing the two-storey high watermill (ME034-009----) on the N side of the Delvin River in Co. Meath is depicted as an L-shaped mill with gable front facing onto the river adjacent to the road bridge crossing the river. The watercolour shows a two-storey high hall with A-shaped roof line on the N wall of the tower which appears to be cutting across an earlier window of the castle. This suggests that the roof of the hall was a later feature built against the tower which blocked up an earlier window. A possible parapet wall is depicted on the E side of the hall with a string course line indicating the start of the parapet. It is possible that the E wall of the hall was originally built as a bawn wall or curtain wall of the castle and this wall was later reused as the E wall of a hall that was added onto the E wall of the tower. An unfinished pencil and inkwash drawing of the castle dated c. 1791 from the NW side also in the Grose Collection (NLI, PD 1976 TX) shows the N face of the tower with a ground floor pointed doorway in the centre of the N wall of the tower which provided access from the single storey hall. The steeply pitched A-shaped roof line of the hall cuts across an earlier window ope and there is a window embrasure depicted in the centre of the N wall of the hall. The scar line of the destroyed W wall of the hall is shown on the NW angle of the tower. The drawing shows a first floor round-headed doorway in the centre of the W wall of the tower which was accessed by an external stone stairs. The presence of a first-floor entrance with external stairs indicates that this may be the original 13th-century first-floor doorway which gave access directly to the first floor hall of the castle (Elmes and Hewson 1975, 137). On this drawing a possible angle tower is depicted on the SW angle of the tower. This pencil drawing shows the roofline of the Hussey Chantry Chapel (DU004-045010-) with possible gable of the medieval Church (DU004-045004-) to the S and a single storey building to the SW of the castle. A plan of Naul Castle dated May 1791 shows the castle consisting of a small tower (int. dims. c. 22ft 9in./6.9m N-S x 17ft 6in./5.3m E-W) on the SE angle with hall (int. dims. c. 54ft 3in./16.5m N-S by 24ft/7.3m E-W) running off the N side of the castle standing in the SE corner of a large bawn (dims. - DU004-045003: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU004-045003-. A spring well at the bottom of a ravine SE of the River Delvin. Approached from an overgrown pathway. No longer venerated (Healy 1975, 16). The well is a chalybeate spring. Circa 2000, the owner capped the spring in a concrete structure (Skyvova 2005, 59). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 29 October 2014 - DU004-045004: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU004-045004-. The chapel of St. Michael of the Naul (Sancti Michaelis de Nalla) stood in an elevated position in the S quadrant of a square-shaped graveyard (DU004-045005-) at the NE end of The Naul (An Aill/ the Cliff) Village (DU004-045----) with Naul Castle (Black Castle) (DU004-045002-) overlooking the Delvin River 100m to N. A possible holy well known locally as Lady Well (DU004-045003- ) lies 15m to ENE and a bridge (DU004-045008- ) crossing the Delvin River stands 220m to NW. White Castle or Snowtown Castle (ME034-010----) lies 370m to NW and a Corn Mill (ME034-009----) stands on the N side of the river 170m to N. A second watermill (DU004-045001-) at Westown lies 220m to WNW. No surface remains visible of medieval church of the Naul which was probably levelled around 1814 when the C. of I. constructed a church probably on the site of the medieval church (Healy 1975, 16). A chapel (DU004-045010-), possibly a chantry chapel was built in 1710 by the Hussey family to the S of the medieval church site. During the building of this chapel they reused the doorway and windows from the medieval church. The C. of I. church that was built in 1814 (Walsh 1888, 244) was demolished c. 1939-40 (SMR File). The C. of I. church was described as; ‘a very plain, small, and nearly square building. Its W gable is surmounted by a one-arched bell-turret. At the S stand the four unfinished walls of a chauntry’ (Walsh 1888, 244). The outline of this levelled post-1700 church is clearly visible on Digital Globe orthoimages taken between 2011-13. The medieval chapel of Naul was originally built by the Cruise family of Naul Castle which stands today in the parish of Naul, in the diocese of Dublin, the barony of Balrothery West. In the early 13th century Naul church stood in the deanery of Swords then later Garristown, in the Diocese of Dublin and formed part of the cell or manor (grange/farm) of Colp, which was part of the monastic estate of Llanthony Prima, Augustinian Priory in Monmouthshire, Wales under the patronage of Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter de Lacy in the late 12th/ early 13th century. The Delvin River marks the county boundary with Meath, the parish boundary with Clonalvy, the diocesan boundary between Dublin and Meath and the barony boundary with Duleek Upper. The townland on the N side of the Delvin River is also called the Naul. In 1185 Stephen de Crues, held the manor of Naul, as recorded in Archbishop Alen’s Register (McNeill 1950, 14). In 1200 AD it was recorded that ‘Stephen de Cruwes [Cruwys/Cruise/Cruwys Morchard, Devonshire] gives to the K [ing] 15 marks sterling to have his land [Naul], whereof he was disseised by the K[ing].'s order. Mandate to Meyler Fitz Henry, justiciary of Ireland, to cause Stephen to have seisin of that land; and if within the time of disseisin anything has been taken therefrom, it, shall be accounted to Stephen in the 15 marks. Further mandate to Meyler Fitz Henry, that by counsel of the Barons of Ireland he inquire and certify how much land there is there, what it is worth, and what service it owes to the K[ing]. The K[ing]. until fully certified will not give Stephen his charter’ (Cal Doc Irel. No 113, 17). In 1227 it was recorded that the King had ‘taken the homage of Robert de Crus [Cruise] for half a knight’s fee in Nalle [Naul], which Stephen, his father, held of the K[ing]. in capite, and which descends to Robert by hereditary right’ (Cal Doc Irel. No 1527, 230-1). In 1292 after the death of Robert de Cruys of the Naul there was an inquisition into the extent of his estate which recorded that; 'The advowson of the church (DU004-045004-) of the vill of Cruys also belongs to the heirs' gift and is worth 10 marks a year' (Cal. doc. Ire. No. 1066, 467-8). According to Ronan (1941, 24); ‘an ancient church stood near the cliff or rock (an aill) on which the old castle still stands. It was supplanted by a church built by and named after Stephen de Crues or Cruise (i.e. of the Cross; a crusader) before 1200 when it was granted with other churches in this district to the priory of Llanthony [Llanthony Prima (Mother House) and Secunda (Daughter House), Augustinian Priory of Wales and Gloucester]’. In 1211, the following churches in Ireland which were ‘formerly communally and jointly held in Ireland’ were granted to Llanthony Prima, Augustinian Priory in Monmouthshire, Wales, ‘Llanthony in Wales should have the ‘church of Naul and chapel of the vill of Ralph de Nugent [Kilsharvan ME027-009----], and in Fingal the church of Garristown, and the church of Palmerstown, and all churches which they likewise had in Delvin’ (Hogan 2006, 103). The church of Naul stood in the Gaelic territory of the O’Cathasaigh or O’Casey’s which was co-extensive with the barony of Balrothery West. The extent of Ocathesi's country is ascertained from a composition between John Archbishop of Dublin, and Galfridus Prior of Lanthony (Registrum Alani , fol. 110 a), concerning the ecclesiastical rights of terra O'Kadesi [O’Casey’s territory], in which a partition is made, and the Archbishop grants to the Prior the churches of Villa Ogari [Garristown DU003-011001-] cum capella de Palmerstown [DU007-013001-]; de Sancto Nemore [Holywood DU004-023001-] in Fingall; capella terre Regredi alias Riredi, scilicet Grathelach [the Grallagh DU007-001001-]; Ecclesia Ville Stephani de Cruys or Nalle [the Naul]’ (O’Donovan 1862, V). In 1293 the Irish Exchequer recorded a payment from Walter de la Haye, custodian of the Archdiocese of Dublin of £7 from the ‘fruits of the church of Naul’ and John Russel who paid 26s. 8d. from the same fruits, for Master Henry de Bray of Harlestone, Northamptonshire, out of the Manor of Colp [Cell of Lanthony Prima] (Cal Doc Irel. No 47, 33). The 1302-07 Ecclesiastical Taxation of Ireland recorded that in the Deanery of Swords the church of the Naul was valued at £10 per annum with the tithe valued at 20s. (Cal Doc Irel. Vol. 5, 239). Archbishop Cromer’s Register contained a petition of probable 16th-century date [c. 1519], ‘from John Caddell, and his chaplain, Dominus Donall of the diocese of Meath, to Alexander Plunket, concerning the intrusion of the Canons of Lanthony [Prima (Augustinian Priory founded by Hugh de Lacy) in Monmouthshire, Wales & Secunda (daughter-house) in Gloucester] and their Procurator into the chapel of St. Michael of the Naul (Sancti Michaelis de Nalla). That the petitioner and his predecessors had the right from time immemorial to celebrate divine service in the aforementioned chapel; that he had received tutorial letters from the Roman Court; that he had been guaranteed the protection of the Armagh Curia; and that, in spite of all these assurances, the Vicar General's two commissaries, the Prior of Louth and the Archdeacon of Armagh, had gone outside their delegated jurisdiction and set aside the tutorial letters. The present appeal asks the Vicar General to reopen the case and have justice done’ (Murray 1933, 47). The Royal Visitation of Dublin Diocese in 1615 described the building as ‘Nall Capella’ (Naul Chapel) and was described as ‘Spectans ad eandem. Idem’, the same as that of the vicarage of Hollywood [DU004-023001-] with the chapel of Grallagh [DU007-001001-] which was served by the curate Terentius Ivers and Edwardus Corbet was the lately deceased vicar (Ronan 1941, 23-4). In 1630, the Visitation of Dublin Diocese by the Protestant Archbishop, Dr. Bulkeley recorded the following details about the churches in ‘Hollywo[o]d, Grallagh and Nall [Naul]’; ‘The churches and chauncells are ruinous. The tythes are impropriat, worth .... per annum, held by the Right Honourable the Lord Vicecomte Moore. There are not above eight persons that frequent divine service in that parish. Mr. John Hyde, Mr. of Arte and preacher, is vicar of Hollywood and curate of the rest, beinge worth sixteene pownds per annum. Mass is comonly said in the howses of Mr. Cadle and Mr. Cruce [Cruise/Naul Castle]’ ( - DU004-045005: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU004-045005-.

Pedestrian access to graveyard in centre of W wall with access to modern graveyard at NE. There are the upstanding remains of an 18th century chantry chapel built by the Hussey family close to the site of a medieval chapel (DU004-045001-) which was replaced by a 19th century C. of I. church in the S quadrant of the graveyard. the 19th century church was demolished c. 1940. The graveyard has been extended in recent times to the NE. The interior is raised above the surrounding ground level and falls away to the N. The oldest grave-slabs are in the W and S which are 18th-19th century in date. Graveyard surveyed in 1992 (Egan 1992).

Possible bawn of Naul castle located on the E edge of a ravine on the S bank of the Delvin River, with holy well (DU004-045003-) 155m to E, church (DU004-045004-), graveyard (DU004-045005-) 80m to S, watermill (DU004-045001-) 200m to W, bridge (DU004-045008-) and castle (ME034-010----) 165m and 330m to WNW respectively and a mill (ME034-009----) 85m to NNW. The 1654-6 Civil Survey of Dublin recorded that in 'The Naal', there stood, 'one old Castle with an old Hall covered with straw one Orchard one garden plott tenn tenem[en]ts Valued by ye Jury at one hundred & seaventy five poundes'(Simington 1945, 30). On these lands there also stood 'one open stone Quarry also a grove of Ashtrees set for ornament' (ibid.). The possible bawn of Naul Castle also known as ‘The Black Castle’ was described by McDix (1896, 244) as follows; ‘The Castle is built close to a kind of rough angle formed by a turning in the rock or cliff, and a portion of a wall, or perhaps it might be called a buttress, projects from the north-east corner along the edge of the rock. This might, however, have been a portion of the external wall surrounding the bawn or yard. There appears, from the roof-pitch on the face of the north wall, that a building had been erected here against the Castle at a later date'. Geophysical survey (Licence no. 10R0077) was undertaken in the vicinity of Naul castle (DU004-045002-). A possible curving enclosure ditch was identified which corresponds to a possible ditch and bank identified as low earthworks. The ditch may represent an enclosing feature or bawn associated with the adjacent castle. A cluster of anomalies within the enclosing ditch may also indicate archaeological activity although no clear archaeological patterns are visible (Harrison 2010, 6).

The 18th century chapel built by the Hussey family of Westown House stands to the S of the site of the levelled medieval church (DU004-045004-) of St. Michael of the Naul (Sancti Michaelis de Nalla) which stood in an elevated position in the S quadrant of a square-shaped graveyard (DU004-045005-). In 1814 the C. of I. built a church probably on the site of the medieval church (Healy 1975, 16) and partially on the N wall of the 18th-century chapel. The graveyard is located at the NE end of The Naul (An Aill/ the Cliff) Village (DU004-045----) with Naul Castle (Black Castle) (DU004-045002-) overlooking the Delvin River 100m to N. A possible holy well known locally as Lady Well (DU004-045003-) lies 15m to ENE and a bridge (DU004-045008- ) crossing the Delvin River stands 220m to NW. White Castle or Snowtown Castle (ME034-010----) lies 370m to NW and a Corn Mill (ME034-009----) stands on the N side of the river 170m to N. A second watermill (DU004-045001-) at Westown lies 220m to WNW. A chapel, possibly a chantry chapel was built in 1710 by the Hussey family of Westown House located 220m to the NNW. During the building of this chapel they reused the doorway and windows from the medieval church. The 1837 ed. OSi 6-inch map shows the 19th-century church and chapel standing in the S quadrant of the graveyard. The larger church was built in 1814 (Walsh 1888, 244) probably on the site of the medieval church and was demolished c. 1939-40. The 19th-century church was partially built on the footprint of the N wall of the 18th-century chapel as depicted on the 1863 ed. OSi 25-inch map. On this map it is clear that the early 19th century church was built up against the W end of the N wall of the Hussey chapel which probably resulted in the destruction of the N wall of the chapel. The outline of this levelled post-1700 church is clearly visible on Digital Globe orthoimages taken between 2011-13. Present remains consist of a small rectangular 18th-century chantry chapel (ext. dims. 5.75m N-S x 10.95m E-W; Wall T 0.65m) orientated ENE-WSW with finely executed pointed W doorway (Wth 1.07m x H 1.95m) with cable-moulding and decorative punch dressed jambs of late 16th-century appearance. The soffit of the doorway arch is dressed with alternating patterns of stone dressing, is similar to the stone dressing on the medieval doorway of All Saints Church (LI001-002003-) at Castleconnell, Co. Limerick. The interior of the chapel was lit by a transomed and mullioned four-light ogee-headed window (ext. Wth 0.93m x H 1.3m) with external hood moulding in the centre of the E gable. A twin light window (ext. Wth 0.83m) in the centre of the S wall is now missing the top of the window head. The spandrels of the unglazed ogee-headed E window are decorated with trefoil motif and the bar holes of a metal grill are visible in the window jambs. A chamfered punch-dressed jamb-stone was reused as the lower left jamb-stone of the E window on the S side, which indicates that this window was rebuilt in 1710. A second reused punch-dressed chamfered jamb-stone is visible in the external face of the fabric of the E gable, to the S of the E window at the height of the top of the window. The N wall is no longer visible as it was removed when the adjoining church was built in 1814. There is evidence of rebuilding to the N side of the W gable, which has been partially rebuilt post 1972-4, as photographs of the church from this period show the ragged edge of the gable on the N side which has been rebuilt. The pointed doorway, the E window and S window was taken from the medieval chapel and reused in the building of the chantry chapel by the Hussey family of Westown House in 1710. The inscription on the lozenge-shaped armorial plaque above the doorway in the centre of the W gable reads; ‘This Chapel and Monument was Erected by the Honourable Counte Edward Hussey of Westoune and his Lady Madam Mable Hussey Als Barnewall for theire use and posterity the Year of Our Lord God 1710’. An armorial plaque of Hussey family was inserted into the inner face of the E window embrasure. A recumbent slab in the floor the chapel marks the location of the burial vault belonging to the Hussey family.

Present remains consist of two impressively large well preserved limekilns built into the N face of rock outcrop. The limekiln to the E dates from the 18th century and the kiln to the W appears to have been added in the late 18th/early 19th century.

Remains of freestanding single-bay single-storey single-cell chapel, dated 1710, on a rectangular plan. Now in ruins. ROOF: None. WALLS: Repointed rubble stone battered walls with rough edged limestone flush quoins to corners. OPENINGS: Pointed-arch door opening (west) below cut-limestone diagonal date stone ("1710") with cut-limestone step threshold, and margined tooled rough edged limestone block-and-start doorcase having cable moulded reveals. Ogee-headed window opening in bipartite arrangement (east) with cut-limestone cruciform mullion, and margined tooled cut-limestone block-and-start surround having chamfered reveals with hood moulding. INTERIOR: Ruin. SITE: Set in graveyard with repointed rubble limestone boundary wall to perimeter having rendered rounded coping. GENERAL: A diagonal date stone similar to the date stone on the Catholic Church of the Nativity of Our Lady (see 11803001) is inscribed: "THIS CHAPEL AND MONUMENT/WAS ERECTED BY THE HONble COl/EDWARD HUSSEY OF WEST/OUNE [sic] AND HIS LADY/MADAM MABLE HUSSEY ALS BARNE/WALL FOR THEIRE [sic] USE/AND POSTERITY IN/THE YEAR OF OUR/LORD GOD/1710". The chapel reused the door and window of an adjacent medieval church cleared to make way for a new church (1814) described (1837) as 'a plain neat building' (Lewis 1837 II, 421) [SMR DU004-045004-]. - Water pump, 1920–1925, Regional interest, registry number 11308005, https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=FI®no=11308005. Freestanding cast-iron "cow tail" waterpump, installed 1922, on a square plan with panelled shaft on panelled pedestal having acorn finial-topped fluted capping. Disused, 2000. Repositioned, 2014. Restored, 2020. Street fronted on concrete footpath. NOTE: The waterpump, supplied by Tonge and Taggart (established 1869) of Dublin and distinguished by a ball finial handgrip, was installed to a specification by Anthony Scott (c.1844-1919), Architect and Engineer to Balrothery Rural District Council (appointed 1906), on foot of 'a memorial submitted by...a number of residents for the provision of a pump' in addition to the waterpump previously installed (1914) outside the dispensary (The Drogheda Argus and Leinster Journal 13th September 1919). However, the water from the pump had a rusty discolouration, pointing to a faulty lining, and villagers preferred to get their supply from the earlier waterpump (pers. conn. 2020). Castings include the emblem of Balrothery Rural District Council (established 1898; abolished 1925) and the "Déanta I nÉirinn" emblem created (1907) by the Irish Industrial Development Association and the first trademark registered in Ireland under the Industrial and Commercial Property (Protection) Act, 1927. The waterpump was restored by Naul Community Council in 2020 with funding from The Heritage Council under the Community Heritage Grant Scheme. ## Ground and risks (Radon Risk Map of Ireland, EPA; Landslide Susceptibility Classification and LiDAR, Geological Survey Ireland) - Radon: at the centre of the townland of Naul, about 1 in 10 homes in this area is likely to have high radon levels.
