Cistern in Dublin South City

Cistern

What is recorded here

Cistern in Dublin South City is a cistern in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps it stood beside St Michaels Church in 1323, holding rainwater for priests and neighbours while the city drank elsewhere. Maybe its stones still lie buried under pavement, waiting for someone to dig through centuries of forgotten thirst.
Clarke mentions the former existence of a cistern near St Michaels Church in 1323 (2002, 28). Not precisely located.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
