Settlement cluster in Dublin South City

Settlement cluster

What is recorded here

Eight houses stood in Dolphin's Barn when the Hearth Money Rolls recorded them in 1664. Six had one hearth and one had three, a small cluster hidden behind a formal number. The larger house may have belonged to a trader, a clerk or a family that took in strangers. The others remained ordinary, warming small rooms against the Dublin cold.
The Hearth Money Rolls for County Dublin, 1664 mention 8 houses in Dolphin's Barn, 6 with one hearth and one with three (Cary, 1930-3, 454-55). Not precisely located.

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