The National Monuments Service's description
Named 'City Watercourse' on the 1837 OS 6-inch map. It is shown on the Down Survey (1655-6) maps as the 'water that supplieth Dublin'. This section of the medieval watercourse runs from Kimmage crossroads to the 'Tongue' at Kimmage. Half way along the watercourse is joined by a stream called the Poddle and they flow as one stream for a short distance, the waters separating at the Tongue (Joyce 1912, 452-453; Berry 1891, 557-73).
