- DU017-019007 Bridge
Description
One of three bridges spanning the River Liffey in Lucan. The present Lucan Bridge (DU019-019006-) located 180m upstream to E was built in 1814 to replace this 18th-century bridge which was built to replace the medieval bridge (DU017-016----) located 240m to the W. On the 1837 ed. OSi 6-inch map the bridge site is annotated 'Piers of Br.' where it shown immediately to the N of the Infant School on the S bank of the Liffey. The 18th-century bridge was described by Simington and O'Keeffe (1991, 270) as; 'The first Dublin to Kinnegad Turnpike Act (5 Geo. II c.16) was passed in 1731. The first sentence of it gives a clue to the line of the principal road to the west at the time as it mentions "the road leading from the city of Dublin through the towns of Kilmainham, Is land-bridge, Chappel-izod, Palmerstown, Lucan, Leixlip, Monouth, Kilcock, Cloncurry and states it was in a ruinous and bad condition. Section 20 states that "the road leading from the bridge at Lucan by the causeway of St Katherine's to the town of Leixlip by the sudden and frequent overflowing of the river Liffey over the said causeway is dangerous to passengers, several persons having lost their lives and many cattle having been drowned, and it is almost impractical to raise and make the same safe and commodious, and by the building of a bridge over the river in a convenient place, and turning the road another and shorter way the like accidents will for the time to come be prevented." The act then empowers the trustees to build a bridge of stone and lime in some convenient place over the Liffey and make a new road through Lucan and the lands of Cooltreeny leading to such bridge. Among the 100 or more trustees named in the 1731 act there are two Agmondisham Veseys, father and son. The Veseys had come into the Lucan estate when the father married a niece of Patrick Sarsfield in the 1720s. The importance of Lucan Bridge diminished with the building of the Leixlip road and bridge. Dean Swift's couplet fills the gap: "Agmondisham Vesey out of great bounty/ Built the bridge at the expense of the county.": this is generally accepted as relating to the Lucan bridge over the Liffey. Swift, who probably composed the couplet sometime in the 1730s, was one of the trustees named in the Blackbull-Trim-Athboy Turnpike Act, 1731 and was no doubt familiar with road financing procedures. This evidence suggests that a bridge was built at Lucan in the 1730s. Positive evidence of a new bridge is given in an act 11 & 12 Geo. III c. 35 (1771-2) which prescribed: Whereas a new bridge has been built at the expense of the county of Dublin over the river Liffey near the village of Lucan; and whereas Agmondisham Vesey esquire has consented and undertaken that the road from the said new bridge shall be carried without expense to the county through his estate in a straight line from the said bridge to Thomas Lynch's house where it will intersect the turnpike road which will be considerably shortened thereby be it enacted by the King's Majestie by the Lords . .. that as soon as the said new road be finished it may be lawful to the said Agmondisham Vesey to stop and inclose that part of the old road which lies west of the little river called the Griffeen. Examination of the 1844 O.S. six-inch map provided the necessary clues to piece together the evidence. This map shows the remnants of an abutment and two piers. Evidently the middle bridge mentioned in the Vesey act was swept away in the floods of 1784 or 1786.' Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 8 May 2023
- DU017-019009 Water mill - unclassified
Description
The 'Old Mill' depicted on Taylor's 1816 Map of County Dublin may represent the remains of the medieval mill associated with the manorial borough of Lucan or of a later mill dating from the 16th/17th century. In the early 13th-century there is a reference in the Register of the Hospital of St. John the Baptist, to the 'molendinum de Lyuekan' or mill of Lucan (Brooks 1936, 210). In 1295 Hugh de la Felde and Alianora his wife, were removed from the possession of their freehold in Lucan which included 'a third of two parts of the lesser perquisite [profits] of the mill of Lyuekan' (Cal. justic. rolls, Ire. Edw. I, 222-3). The Urban Survey of Dublin (Bradley and King 1988, 251-3) recorded the following details about the medieval watermill in the borough of Lucan; ' MILL A watermill is frequently mentioned in association with the manor of Lucan, for instance in the grant of the manor to Maurice, fourth earl of Kildare, in 1386 (D'Alton 1838 329). The manorial mill seems to have been located at Lutterelstown, however, rather than at Lucan (Curtis 1932-43, i, no 747)'. In 1341 the Ormond Deeds recorded the; 'Final concord made in the court of the King at Dublin in the morning after the Purification of the B.V.M. in the 15th year of the reign of King Edward III, before Simon fitz Richerd, Thomas de Mountpelleris, clerk, John Gernoun and Nicholas de Snyterby, Justices of the Bench, and other lieges of the King present, between Simon fitz Richerd, plaintiff, and John de Bath and Eglentina his wife, deforciant, concerning the manor of Lucan and a mill with its appurtenances in Luterelston, over which a plea of covenant was summoned between them in the same court, viz., that said John and Eglentina recognised the said manor with its appurtenances and mill to be the proper right of Simon, as that which he had of the gift of said John and Eglentina, who now release and quitclaim the same for themselves and their heirs to the aforesaid Simon and his heirs for ever. And for this recognition, release, quitclaim, fine and concord Simon gave to John and Eglentina a sparrow-hawk' (Curtis 1932, 317-8, No. 747).

- DU017-019012 Castle - unclassified
Description
The residential tower attached to the N side of St Mary's church (DU017-019002-) at Lucan (DU017-019----), was mistakenly identified as the medieval castle of Lucan. The precise location of the medieval castle of Lucan has not been identified. It has been suggested that the site of the medieval castle stood beside the present 18th-century Lucan House (Bradley and King 1988, 254; Salter 2004, 37). Salter also suggested that there was a second castle situated in the main Street of Lucan village (ibid.). Salter (ibid.) recorded the following details about the medieval castle (DU017-019001-) of Lucan; 'Agmondisham Vesey's mansion of 1772 lies beside the site of a castle probably built by Sir William Sarsfield, Mayor of Dublin after he acquired the estate upon the attainder of the 10th Earl of Kildare in 1534. During the 1650s and 60s it was held by the Cromwellian Sir Theophilus Jones but was restored to Patrick Sarsfield, who was created Viscount Tully and Earl of Lucan. A second castle site lies in Main Street at 032352'. Recent research by local archaeologist, Helen Farrell confirmed Mike Salter's identification of a medieval castle in the historic village of Lucan (DU017-019----). The De Vesci Papers in the National Library of Ireland contains a map of Lucan village dating from 1699 which shows the location of a medieval castle in the village of Lucan (NLI MS 39,251/3). On this map a tower hosue type building annotated 'The Castle' castle is shown standing immediately N of a medieval road following the line of the present road that leads up to Cannonbrook and to the E of Lucan Church (DU017-019002-) and Lucan House (DU017-019008-). The house known locally as 'Ard Garon' on Dispensary Lane stands on the site of or incorporates fabric of the medieval castle. It is not clear if there was one or two medieval castles in the manor of Lucan and it is possible that this may be the original medieval manorial castle of Lucan. Alternatively there may have been two castles in the medieval manor of Lucan, one of which was located on the site of the present Lucan House and the second castle located here to the E of St. Mary's medieval church (DU017-019002-). The present house 'Ard Garon' on Dispensary Lane was described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) as a; 'Semi-detached three-bay two-storey building, c.1830, originally two separate buildings and now containing two dwellings. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered base course. An unusual, intriguing building, comprising two related and interconnected structures on a corner site' (NIAH Reg. No. 11201038)'. The 'unusual' facade of this building suggests that this house consists of a two storey high medieval tower that was extended or modified in the 19th-century creating the unusual appearance of the building known as 'Ard Garon' NLI MS 39,251/3 Original and copy title deeds to the lands of Pettycannon, outside Lucan, so called because originally they belonged to the Petty Canons and Choristers of St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin.

- DU017-019013 Water mill - unclassified
Description
The De Vesci Papers in the National Library of Ireland contains a map of Lucan village dating from 1699 which shows the location of a medieval castle in the village of Lucan (NLI MS 39,251/3). On this map a possible watermill is depicted standing immediately to the E of the Griffeen River and to the S of St. Mary's Church (DU017-019002-) and Lucan House (DU017-019008-). The watermill was located in a parcel of land adjoining on the W bank of the River and fronting onto the medieval road leading to Cooldrinagh. This watermill was listed in the 1680 survey of the lands of Lucan, where it is recorded that on parcel no. 22 the land of 'Nicholas Roos' who held 'on the north side of ye River An Island by ye Mill' (NLI MS 39/256/1).

Description
Situated in the NW end of a ringfort's interior (DU017-021001-). Its position is visible as a sunken area with descending stone steps. It was accessible up to recently. When last inspected in 1971 the entrance led into a passage with a beehive chamber off it. This was built of drystone walling with a corbelled roof closed by a large slab which was thought to be a modern repair. At a point opposite the present entrance was another entrance into a slightly curving passage orientated ENE-WSW. This was blocked at one end (Anon 1896, 421-2; Ball 1906, 4, 36; Price 1940, 123).
