What is recorded here

The present church is a Board of First Fruits structure (1812) which occupies the site of a medieval chapel (Lewis 1849, 169). In 1197 St. David's church was gifted to St Thomas's abbey in Dublin. It is also mentioned in the 'Ecclesiastical Taxation of Ireland 1302-6 (Sweetman & Handcock, 1886). In the late 18th-century the gable end of the earlier church was still standing (Price 1942, 42; Clinton, M.2005). Wall footing visible to the south of the church.
