What is recorded here

Archbishops hung their victims at that junction, not kings. The Coombe and Ash Street still mark the spot where religious authority claimed lives without witness. No wood remains, no rope, no name. The architecture of power erased its own evidence, leaving only the angle of two streets to remember the violence.

The Friends of Medieval Dublin Map (1978, O1) shows the site of the Archbishops gallows along the Coombe at its junction with Ash Street (Bradley & Kng 1987, II,149). There are no visible surface remains. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 23 November 2012
