What is recorded here

In a graveyard (KD035-036001-). Described in Archbishop Bulkeley’s Visitation of Dublin, 1630, ‘Nicholston. The church and chauncell are ruinous, the land waste, and noe body livith on it.’ (Ronan 1941b, 94). A ruined rectangular structure (traceable L 11m E-W; Wth 4.8m N-S) defined mainly by grassed-over wall footings. A short section of the S wall still stands (L 3.6m; T 0.55m; H 1m), built of randomly coursed mortared limestone rubble masonry, and the external NE angle survives (H0.5m) incorporated into a later burial plot. The interior is disturbed by burials. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 20 December 2013
