- WI021-069001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI021-069001-. Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope overlooking the River Slaney. An early church is mentioned in the twelfth century and formed part of the diocesan lands of Glendalough. After 1216 it became part of an episcopal manor and was subsequently granted to the dean of St Patrick's in Dublin (MacNeill 1950, 128-9). The church appears to have formed part of a small borough (WI021-069002-). Not visible at ground level; the present church was erected in 1711. Test trenching (Excavation Licence 08E0068) carried out in 2008 to the S of the church did not reveal anything of archaeological significance (O'Carroll 2011, 378). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 13 December 2012 Revised by: Claire Breen

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
