Latrine in Dublin South City

Latrine

What is recorded here

Clarke identified a public latrine on the east side of Fyans Castle in 1571. The precise spot has vanished, leaving only the chance that ordinary people relieved themselves beside a castle wall while officials looked away. That missing marker preserves more life than a polished monument because it admits the body, the street and the city’s daily grime.
Clarke mentions the former existence of a public latrine on the E side of Fyans Castle which was built in 1571 (2002, 28). Not precisely located.

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