- DU018-020044: Religious house - Augustinian canons, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU018-020044-. The Augustinian Priory of All Saints (All Hallows) was established by Diarmait Mac Murchada, King of Leinster in c. 1166 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 171). Between 1234 and 1244 it was granted lands in the Steynnear (Butler 1845, 23). The priory was dissolved in 1538 and its possessions granted to the citizens of Dublin in recognition of their loyalty during the Silken Thomas Rebellion of 1534 (Gilbert 1861, 3-4). The citizens in the reign of Elizabeth transferred their property to Adam Loftus, Archbishop of Dublin for the foundation of a university. The roofing and building materials of the priory were carried away by William Brabazon to be used in repairing Dublin Castle (FMD map 1978, H1). It was located on the E side of Hoggen Street, immediately E of the river Stein and close to the shore of the river Liffey (De Courcy 1996, 5-7). The site of the priory church is traditionally associated with the present Campanile in Library Square, Trinity College (Bradley & King 1987, II, 137-138). The tower of the priory was incorporated into the N range of the original University buildings near the E end (Craig 1982, 151-53). In 1998 excavations in Library Square exposed the remains of five skeletons, orientated east-west and the remains of a medieval wall east of the college Quadrangle which are thought to be associated with the priory (Simpson 2002, 195-236).

- DU018-020047: Religious house - Augustinian, of Arrouaise nuns, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU018-020047-. Known as 'St Mary de Hogges' Abbey which was a convent of Arroasian nuns situated in the vicinity of the present church of St. Andrews (DU018-020072-). Founded c. 1146 by Diarmaid MacMurchada, King of Leinster, and attached to the principal House at Clonard, Co. Meath (ME047-007----) (Gwynn and Hadcock, 1970, 316). According to Clarke (2002, 5) Ragnall mac Torcaill; 'established a community of Arroasian nuns next to the former Viking assembly place [DU018-020132-] and the burial ground of pagan rulers. This abbey came to be known as St Mary de Hogges', after the haugar still standing outside the nuns' boundary wall'. It appears to have been rebuilt in the reign of John (Gilbert 1854-9, 3, 2). In 1536 it possessed a church with bell tower, dormitory, chapter house, other buildings and a two acre walled pasture (Clarke 2002, 19). After the Dissolution of the monasteries the church and other buildings were demolished by William Brabazon (Gilbert 1854-9 3, 351). St Andrews Street was formerly known as 'Hog Hill' as depicted on Rocque's 1756 map of Dublin City. Described in the Urban Survey of Dublin City as follows; 'It was situated in the vicinity of the present St Andrew's church (C of I) [DU018-020072-], and the appellation "de hogges" is derived from the Viking burial mound [DU018-020132-] which was located nearby. These mounds also gave their name to Hoggen Green, later College Green. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries the church and other buildings were demolished by William Brabazon, under-treasurer of Ireland, and the materials were used to repair Dublin castle (Gilbert 1854-9, iii, 351). In 1550 the site was granted to Richard Fyant and others that they might establish six "lowmes [lloms] of lynnen and woolen yarne" which were intended to employ weavers, spinners, and others who would otherwise be idle (Gilbert 1854-9, iii, 6). The convent seems to have owned a considerable stretch of land, extending from College Green to Merrion Square and from Stephen's Green North to Nassau Street (Donnelly 1905, ii, 128). The present de-consecrated 19th century Church of Ireland St Andrew's Church and graveyard was built on the site of the 17th-century St. Andrew's Church (DU018-020072-) and graveyard and partially on the 'Site of' the 'Nunnery of St. Mary de Hogges' as annotated on the OSi 25-inch map and on the 1892 OSi City of Dublin: sheet 57.

- DU018-020072: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU018-020072-. The present de-consecrated 19th century Church of Ireland St Andrew's Church and graveyard was built on the site of the 17th-century St. Andrew's Church and graveyard and partially on the 'Site of' the 'Nunnery of St. Mary de Hogges' (DU018-020047-) as annotated on the OSi 25-inch map and on the 1892 OSi City of Dublin: sheet 57. According to Gilbert (1854-9, vol. 3, 305-09) the church was built on an 'old bowling green. He wrote that; ' In April, 1670, the parish resolved that the new church, after an oval model by William Dodson, should be erected on "the old bowling-green" given to them by Henry Jones, Bishop of Meath; the expense of the building being defrayed by subscriptions and parochial assessments. The first register of this parish commences on 3rd of March, 1670, and the vestry accounts in 1671 contain the following entries:-"To entertain the Lord Mayor, 14s.; to the Lord Mayor, the city rent of the churchyard, in lieu of a couple of capons, 5s." Among the holders of seats in the church, in 1674, were the Countess of Clancarty, Sir John Temple, Sir Maurice Eustace, Henry Aston, John Rogerson, and Sir Alexander Bence. Travers contributed twelve pounds per annum to the establishment of a parochial school in 1709, and erected an alms-house for poor widows. In 1745 St. Andrew's parish petitioned Parliament, stating the church to be in so ruinous a condition that an expenditure of £1000 was absolutely necessary to roof it newly; that the generality of the parishioners were unable to pay their proportions of so large a sum, and praying the House of Commons to take their case into favourable considerations, as its Members resorted to this church on all public occasions. On this petition, the Parliament of Ireland granted the parish £500 towards the repairs of the church. Isaac Mann, appointed Vicar of St. Andrew's in 1750, was succeeded in 1757 by Henry Browne; and in 1763 the parish presented a petition to Parliament, setting forth that the church was in a ruinous and dangerous condition, requiring immediate and large repairs; that the church-yard was much too small for the interment of the dead; that the watch-house was most inconveniently placed, obstructing the passage to the Parliament House, and intercepting the view of the College; that rents were so extremely high, this parish being the principal seat of trade in the city, the minister was under great difficulty to provide himself a house convenient for the discharge of his parochial duties. In 1784 the Hon. John Hewitt was presented to the rectory of St. Andrew's; and the church having become ruinous, the parish, in May, 1793, appointed a Committee to carry its repairs into execution. The original foundation was so well built, that it was found unnecessary to take down the walls below the level of the windows, and for the new church, the parish selected the plans of Mr. John Hartwell, to whom they awarded the prize of twenty guineas which they had offered. The Parliament of Ireland granted £500 in 1796, and £1000 in 1799, to enable the parish to complete the repair of the church, and to make proper accommodation in it for the reception of the Members of the House of Commons and their Speaker, when they should attend divine worship there. In 1800 Hartwell resigned his connexion with the building, the completion of which was then committed to Francis Johnston, who designed the front opposite to Church-lane, and devised the plans for the arrangements of the pews and galleries, which, with all the interior work, were executed by James Lever, of the North Strand, a contractor of eminence, and father of our Irish novelist. The Imperial Parliament, in 1805, granted £6000 to be applied towards completing the building of St. Andrew's Church, and the erection of a steeple and spire, the first stone of which was laid in April of the same year'. St. Andrew's Church was referred to in old documents as 'Parochia Sancti Andrea de Thengmothe' (DU018-020132-) which was located across the road to the N of the church. St Andrew's Church on the junction of St Andrew Street and Suffolk Street was described by Wheeler and Craig (1948, 9-10) as follows; 'The parish was founded probably in the the XIth century. The original [medieval] church [DU018-020071-] occupied the site of the present Munster and Leinster Bank in Dame Street, lying therefore just without the walls [DU018-020001-]. At the Reformation the parish was united to St. Werburgh's, and the [medieval] church used as a mint and as a vice-regal stable. Laud attempted to rescue it, but it was not till 1665 that the parish was re-created by Act of Parliament. The church [on Suffolk St.] was built 1670-74: it was 'round' (elliptical) in form, and the architect was William Dodson. A drawing which still exists, was made by Francis Place. It stood almost on the site of the present church, near the Danish Thingmote or assembly mound [DU018-020132-], which was not levelled till 1685. In 1690 it was for a time used as a prison. Dodson was a dishonest contractor, and by 1750 the building was already decaying. Since early in the XVIIIth century it had enjoyed a special position as the parish church of Parliament. Much public money was therefore spent on the rebuilding which began in 1793 and ended with the re-opening in 1807. During this time the congregation was accommodated in the Friends' Meeting House. The church was rebuilt on the old walls, from sill-level upwards, by John Hartwell and (after 1800) by Francis Johnston, who designed the front to Church Lane, and also the gothic tower which (as usual in Dublin) never finished. The ellipse measured 80 ft. [24m] x 60 ft. [18m], and was 43 ft. [13m] in height. Over the porch stood the statue of St Andrew, the only statue on any Protestant church in Dublin. It was the work of Edward Smyth and still stands beside the present W door. It has suffered much from the weather and from having been used for target-practice by a noted duellist. Internally the church was decorated in the Egyptian style. It was regarded as too well-lit, and oiled-silk blinds adorned with transparencies on scriptural subjects were hung over the windows. At the Union the church inherited the great carved wooden candelabra from the House of Commons. This was removed to the Examination Hall of Trinity College in 1852 - fortunately, because on January 8th, 1860, the church was destroyed by an accidental fire. Though the tower escaped destruction, it was immediately pulled down, and the present church, designed by Lanyon, Lynn and Lanyon of Belfast, was built a few yards to the South of the old site, and opened in 1866. It has no features in common with the historic building which it succeeded, but possesses one of the finest broach spires in Ireland. The new design was the result of a competition, in which Lanyon and Lynn won the first two places, Raffles Brown the third, Deane and Woodward the fourth, and Thomas Turner the fifth. Esther Vanhomrigh (Swift's Vanessa) is buried here, but the site of her grave is unmarked'. In recent times it was converted into a tourist information office for Fáilte Ireland, and then a new redevelopment of the building converting it into a licensed food hall. The present church building was described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) as a; 'Freestanding cruciform-plan gable-fronted Gothic Revival Church of Ireland church, built 1861-6, now disused. Building has four-bay nave with side aisles, latter with clerestories, gabled porch to west front, two-bay chancel with half-octagonal-plan apse, cloistered porch to north elevation of north side aisle with pointed archways, octagonal-plan tourelle at re-entrant corner of north transept and north side aisle, similar tourelle to southeast corner of tower, lean-to link between south transept and south side aisle, lean-to vestry to chancel side of south transept, and four-stage tower to north side of chancel, with lean-to link to

Known as 'Steine Mill' this watermill was situated on the former River Steine, just outside the present W front of Trinity College (Bradley & King 1987, 1, 40; FMD map 1978, N9). Mentioned in 1276, repaired in 1297, ruinous to be built in 1462 (Clarke 2002, 26, G10). There are no visible surface remains. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 20 November 2012
- DU018-020132: Mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU018-020132-. The conical shaped flat-topped mound was known as the Thingmount/Thingmote or Thingmot was possibly constructed by the Dublin Vikings for holding assemblies was located at the eastern end of Dame Street and to the N of St Andrew's Church (DU018-020072-) and graveyard (DU018-020072-) on Suffolk Street (Little 1953, 66). This was a conical hill (H c. 12.6m) (Somerville-Large 1996, 102-3). Clarke (2002, 3) stated that the; 'Open air assembly places were a standard feature of major Scandinavian settlements and settled areas in the Viking period. Old Norse haugr (plural haugar), 'burial mound', is believed to lie behind the medieval name Hogges (later Hoggen) Green, which had continued to be a public space'. Gilbert (1854-9, Vol. 3, 318) recorded that; '"Church-street," subsequently styled St. Andrew's-street, but more popularly known as Hog Hill" '. According to Wheeler and Craig (1948, 9); ' The church [DU018-020072-] [on Suffolk St.] was built 1670-74: it was 'round' (elliptical) in form, and the architect was William Dodson. It stood almost on the site of the present church, near the Danish Thingmote or assembly mound, which was not levelled till 1685'. A late 17th-century sketch plan of the street to the N of St. Andrew's Church shows the location of the Thingmote which was described on the plan as 'A Mount or hill Lett by ye Citty to Sr: Wm. Davis Lord Cheife Justice of Ireland' (NLI M27/1; https://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000540180). The text beneath the sketch plan reads; 'The above Plott is a Survey taken of the Mount neer St. Andrews Church, pursuant to an order from ye Rt. Honbl. the Lrd: Major, the Sheriffs Comons and Cittizens of the City of Dublin' Jo Greene Citt Survyr'. The surveyor's signature of John Greene, who was Dublin's first City Surveyor who was appointed in 1679. The two main survey subjects are the site of St Andrew's Church, and the "mount or hill" in the centre. The hill was likely the 10th century Viking "Thingmount" (Thingmote); a conical mound which was an assembly point for the city's original Norse inhabitants. This survey is likely from 1682, not long before William Davies had the site levelled in order to develop the area. St. Andrew's Church (DU018-020072-) was referred to in old documents as 'Parochia Sancti Andrea de Thengmothe' or "Thengmotha in parochia S. Andrea Thengmoth' (Little 1953, 123). The levelling of the mound was described as follows; 'In the year 1688, a most interesting monument of antiquity in Dublin was demolished to make way for City improvements. The old Danish Thingmote, or Parliament Hill, an artificial mound some forty feet high [12m], that stood on the spot now partially occupied by the new Ulster Bank, and not a hundred yards from the Provost's House, was levelled with the ground. And the earth of the old mound, as it was removed, was carted away and thrown down in front of a poor street, St. Patrick's Well Lane, facing the dreary and neglected expanse of waste land that is now the College Park. The College authorities soon afterwards built a high brick wall on the boundary between the City and the College property; and the level of the street, in consequence of the immense accumulation of added soil from the Thingmote, was left, as it now is, some six feet higher than that of the College land which adjoins it' (Anon. 1892, 227).

In 1592 the mayor of Dublin granted the site of All Hallows to Adam Loftus, archbishop of Dublin, Provost of Queen Elizabeth's College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity. James Ussher (1625–56), Archbishop of Armagh, whose most important works were "Veterum Epistolarum Hibernicarum Sylloge", published in 1632, and "Brittanicarum Ecclesiarum Antiquitates", which appeared in 1639, left his valuable library, comprising several thousand printed books and manuscripts, to Trinity College, Dublin, and his complete works were published by that institution in twenty-four volumes. In the 1700's the area to the NE of the quadrangle was divided into a large Square, called Library Square (Simpson, L 2002, 195-236). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 17 January 2013

Trinity College was founded in 1592 on the lands of All Hallows Priory, outside the City walls. The priory building with the exception of the steeple was demolished to make way for the university (De Courcy, J. W.1996, -7).

Portion of a medieval tiled floor was revealed in the 1860's during the building of the Provincial Bank. Test trenching in 1997 produced evidence for a cesspit and a possible revetment wall (Carroll, J, 1998, 8). Further investigations in 2000 uncovered walls constructed of lime-mortar-bonded stone (Reed 2002, 82-3).

According to Archbishop Alen there was formerly a chapel of St Clement's situated in the vicinity of the Steine between the Liffey and the Augustinian abbey of All Hallows (McNeill 1950, 56). In one of the Deeds in the register of All Hallows it is described as lying 'before the Gate' of All Hallows (Butler 1845, 28; Bradley & King 1987, 2, 132, FMD map 1978, G2; Clarke 2002, 20).

This ogham stone was discovered in a souterrain in a ringfort in Fortwilliam townland, Co Kerry (see KE021-138----) c. 1843 (Macalister 1945, 134, no. 137). It is now one of two ogham stones on display as part of the 'Book of Kells' exhibition in the Library, Trinity College, Dublin.

This ogham stone (one of two) is on display as part of the 'Book of Kells' exhibition in the Library, Trinity College, Dublin. The accompanying information panel records that it was found 'near St. Brendan's Oratory on Inishvickillane, Co. Kerry. The inscription is worn and the following letters have been discerned: '[CO?] BB[A?]AVI VLATIAMI MAQ. . . ' There are crosses on all four faces of this stone, positioned so as not to interfere with the inscriptions; this suggests that they may have been added later. According to Cuppage (1986, 298-301, No. 845), 'when first discovered by Windele, the cross-inscribed ogham stone [see KE061-006008-] lay in front of the oratory (Brash 1879, 226) but by 1901 it had been placed as a lintel in that building (Macalister 1902, 44) and in 1902 it was removed to Trinity College, Dublin (Foley 1903, 91) where it remains today.' This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

The present de-consecrated 19th century Church of Ireland St Andrew's Church and graveyard was built on the site of the 17th-century St. Andrew's Church (DU018-020072-) and graveyard and partially on the 'Site of' the 'Nunnery of St. Mary de Hogge' (DU018-020047-) as annotated on the OSi 25-inch map and on the 1892 OSi City of Dublin: sheet 57. Disused graveyard belonging to St. Andrew's Parish Church was Annotated 'G. Yd. (Dis.)' on OSi 25-inch map. Graveyard shown enclosing the round church of St Andrew's on Rocque's 1756 map of Dublin City. St Andrew's Church on Suffolk Street was described by Wheeler and Craig (1948, 9) as follows; 'The parish was founded probably in the the XIth century. The original church [DU018-020071-] occupied the site of the present Munster and Leinster Bank in Dame Street, lying therefore just without the walls. At the Reformation the parish was united to St. Werburgh's, and the church used as a mint and as a vice-regal stable. Laud attempted to rescue it, but it was not till 1665 that the parish was re-created by Act of Parliament. The church [DU018-020072-] [on Suffolk St.] was built 1670-74: it was 'round' (elliptical) in form, and the architect was William Dodson. A drawing which still exists, was made by Francis Place. It stood almost on the site of the present church, near the Danish Thingmote or assembly mound [DU018-020132-], which was not levelled till 1685'.

According to Gilbert (1854-9, vol. 3, 305-09) the church was built on an 'old bowling green. He wrote that; 'In April, 1670, the parish resolved that the new church, after an oval model by William Dodson, should be erected on "the old bowling-green" given to them by Henry Jones, Bishop of Meath; the expense of the building being defrayed by subscriptions and parochial assessments'.

- DU018-551: House - 17th/18th century, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU018-551----. College Green Watch House Located in College Green opposite Parliament House (Bank of Ireland). Watch House annotated ‘W H’ on Rocques 1756 map of the city and suburbs of Dublin where it is shown standing in College Green immediately east of the statue of King William, now the site of the bronze statue of Thomas Davis (NIAH Reg. No. 50020252). The building is depicted as standing on the northern side of College Green between Suffolk Street (Church Lane) on the south side and Turn Stile Alley (Foster Lane) on the northern side. There is a reference to the College Green Watch-House in 1765 when the statue was taken down and replaced on a stone pedestal of greater elevation than the former pediment; being, however, 'usually encircled by hackney chairs, it began to be regarded as an obstruction to the confined passage through College-green. A watch-house, located on its eastern side, was inefficient to protect its base from being perpetually covered with filth, in consequence of which nuisance to the neighbourhood a proposal was made to remove it to the barracks. The latest, as well as the most ingenious and successful assault on the monument was made in 1836. During the month of March in that year three attempts were made to blow it up: Thomas Smith, a watchman who was located at the college gate, on one of these occasions discovered a lighted match attached to the statue, and removed it with his pole. On a closer examination he found, in a hole, upon the horse's side, a nail joined to a long string of hemp, one yard of the latter being on the exterior, and two yards in the interior of the body of the leaden horse. The discovery was duly reported at the watch house, and although the latter was then under the management of a Conservative corporation, no precautionary steps were taken. On the night of Thursday, the 7th of April, 1836, at a few minutes past twelve o'clock, a light appeared suddenly on the side of the statue next to the bank of Ireland, and a few minutes afterwards the figure of the king was blown several feet into the air, accompanied by a deafening explosion, which extinguished all the lamps in College-green and its vicinity. The figure fell at a considerable distance from its pedestal, in the direction of Church lane, its legs and arms were broken, and its head completely defaced by the fall the horse was also much injured and shattered in several places. The mutilated representative of majesty was, next day, placed in a cart and conveyed to College street police office, where it was deposited in the hall, while an investigation. was held relative to the circumstances connected with the outrage' (Anon. 1852, 761, 771).
