The Great South Wall on which Poolbeg Lighthouse stands, extends from Ringsend over 4km out to sea.
Originally built in 1185, the church was rebuilt in its present form in the 18th century by John Smyth (or Smith).
According to the Dublin Penny Journal, a John Smyth, described elsewhere as a gardener, was the architect of the extravagantly castellated gateway and avenue bridge at Ballysaggartmore.
