according to a
Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
ARDRISTIN,
a parish, in the barony of RATHVILLY, county
of CARLOW, and province of LEINSTER, l ¾ mile (S. W. by W.) from Tullow,
on the road to Clonegal; containing 543 inhabitants. It comprises 1525
statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act; and within its limits
is a part of the suburbs of the town of Tullow, called the Green and
Tullow-beg. Except one townland entirely surrounded by the parish of
Aghade, it is bounded on the east and south-east by the river Slaney.
More than one-half of its surface consists of meadow and pasture land;
the rest, with the exception of a small tract of bog, is arable. It
formerly constituted part of the union of Aghade: the living is now a
distinct impropriate curacy, in the diocese of Leighlin, and in the
patronage of the Bishop; the tithes amount to £145. The ruins of the
church, situated on the townland of Ardristin, are divided by a pointed
arch and are 63 feet in length. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of
the union or district of Tullow.
