Settlement cluster in Unknown Townland

According to the Ancient Calendar of Records of Dublin in 1654 Cromwell issued a decreeordering all persons of Irish blood to move two miles outside the city limits. A community adjacent to Ringsend was set up which was to become known as (Flynn 1990, 49-50). Bernard De Gomme's map of The City and Suburbs of Dublin (1673) shows a large number of small dwellings here. No visible trace. The buildings in Irishtown today are largely artisan dwellings of 19th -20th century date. Listed in the Dublin City Development Plan 1991 as 'site of pre-1700 settlement' (Dublin Corporation 1992, No. 82).
