What is recorded here

The Civil Survey (1654-6) mentions 'a ffayre Mansion House' at Chapelizod (Simington 1945, 223). According to Ball (1903, 167) the 'Kings House' at Chapelizod was a brick building erected by Lord Valentia in the first half of the 17th century. It had an entrance gateway and courtyard and according to the Civil Survey, an orchard, two gardens and a grove of ash trees set for ornament. There were some traces of the building up until the 19th-century (Craig 1982, 140). Excavations (Licence No. 92E0040) in 1992 failed to identify any trace of the dwelling (Hayden 1993f, 14-15).
