- LA013-102 Church
Description
Unlocated church within the town of Portlaoise described in 1907 as 'an ancient graveyard occupied the site of the 'ridge' near the town, but no trace of a former church now remains on the spot (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907,vol. 1, 192). According to local tradition there was a church in the immediate vicinity, viz. At the back of Mr Brown's shop on the Ridge Road (O'Dooley n.d. ,5-6). This church was located in graveyard known as the Ridge Graveyard. The Urban Survey recorded that 'the date of the cemetery (LA013-102001-) is unknown. It is possible that it represents a pre-plantation church site, perhaps even the church of the Newtown of Leys' (Bradley et. al. 1986, 54).
