Situated at the NW end of the town (WI025-012----). Founded during the reign of Henry III (1216-72), and first referred to in 1325 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 261). A section of the N wall of the nave (H c. 6m) and parts of the S transept of the Franciscan friary, survives, constructed of uncoursed slaty limestone. The S wall of the transept has a round-headed three-light window, with traces of sandstone jambs. The nave has a large inserted arch, and the only original feature is part of a window splay at the E end.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
