Stoneybatter was one of the principal thoroughfares of Oxmantown, an area which developed in the medieval era as a suburb surrounding an early royal route to Tara, and later became known for its markets. This public house is prominently sited at a main junction along this thoroughfare. Although it has lost some of its original elements, its architectural form and scale is still evident.
