Brittas (Irish: Briotáis, meaning "wooden parapet") is a rural village in County Dublin, just north of the border with County Wicklow on the N81 road. It is in the local government area of South Dublin. The village is notable for five sycamore tree-stump carvings by the side of the road depicting Irish mythological figures carved in 2018.[2]
The River Camac originates close to Brittas before descending through the Slade of Saggart to Saggart and beyond.
