• WI004-001 Historic town
  Description

  The town of Bray is situated on the Dargle River and is divided into Little Bray to the N and Great Bray to the S. The manor of Bray was granted to Walter de Ridelesford before 1176 and was resigned to the Crown in 1280. The first reference to a burgage is c. 1225 when de Ridelesford granted a burgage 'opposite my castle beyond the river' to St Mary's Abbey, Dublin. A mill stood below the castle (WI004-001003-) and a number of Roman burials were discovered near the seafront (WI004-004----). (Scott 1913; Davies 1986, 22; Bradley and King 1989, 12-17). 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 upload/revision: 17 December 2008

• WI004-001003 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Shown as a tower house in the 17th century and possibly the site of an Anglo-Norman castle known to have been erected before 1225 by Walter de Ridelesford. The site is distinguished only by a marked curve in the road at this point. (Price 1957, 334; Davies 1986, 22). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

• WI004-001004 Church
  Description

  Situated on level ground. The present 19th-century parish church, now in commercial use, may stand on the site of an early wooden church called the 'Dearteach' or 'oak house' in several Anglo-Norman documents (Brooks 1951-2, 122) and a subsequent Norman foundation. The present church may incorporate portions of one erected in 1609 although nothing visible survives. Two 17th-century graveslabs (Richard Whichil ob. 1697, Robert Burfield ob. 1700) are located to the S of the church. It was part of the medieval borough of Bray (WI004-001----). (Lewis 1837, vol. 1, 222; Price 1957, 334-5) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
