• DU023-001001 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on a flat built up urban site to the W (c.200m) of Dublin Road and the coastline. The earliest mention of a castle at this site is in a deed of 1334, the castle was built by Sir John Cruise (Ball 1900, 312-16). It came into possession of a branch of the Fitzwilliam family in the early 1400's and was made seat of the family by Sir Thomas Fitzwilliam c. 1550's serving as the country ancestral home until the early 18th century. The building as depicted on a manuscript map by John Barker 'A Map of the Old Merrion and Simmonscourt' (NAI, Mss. 2011/2/2/2) was shown as a pair of adjacent crenelated castles one of which was three storeys high, the adjacent one two. It was damaged in the 1641 rebellion but was afterwards restored. In 1710 the castle was abandoned by the 5th Viscount Fitzwilliam being replaced as the country seat of the family by a new Merrion House in Mount Merrion (DU023-006----) in 1711. In the Down Survey (1655-6) Parish terrier it is described as a 'faire stone castle and a grove of trees'. A drawing by Beranger dated 1766 shows a long hall-like roofless building with stepped battlements above a wall-walk, with a roofed corner tower at the N end (Harbison 1998, 38-9). The three-storey over semi-basement sea-facing facade is pierced by both flat-headed and round-headed windows some with over-sailing hood mouldings with the landward elevation pierced through by closely spaced large openings. In 1780 when Austin Cooper inspected the remains; the ground floor had been used as a cow-house and part of the outlying buildings as a stable (ibid.316). Duncan's map (1821) shows the castle as still standing. On Barker's map an unusual feature depicted as a d-shaped enclosure bound by a curving earthwork with one edge bound by the shore. At this location on the first edition of the OS 6 " maps a serpentine Fish Pond is indicated (DU023-001005-). An armorial plaque (DU023-001003; L 0.33m; Wth 0.44m) with the Fitzwilliam Coat of Arms is built into the S gable of a new building called 'Fitzwilliam Hall' on the site of an older coach house. A carved stone head (DU023-001004-) and a house 18th/19th century (DU023-001002-) are also located within the grounds. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 21 May 2018

  Description

  Shown on the first edition of the OS 6 " maps as Merrion Castle this structure lay just S of the original castle (DU023-001001-) which the Fitzwilliam family occupied as their primary seat from the 15th to the early 18th century. In 1711 a new rural seat was established by the fourth Viscount at Mount Merrion (DU023-006----) as the original castle at Merrion was run down. In 1737 an agent of the Fitwilliam family Richard Mathews remarked that 'no gentlemen could pretend to sitt down there, in a Cleane way' (O'Kane 2016, 108). Nearby, another agent of the Fitzwilliam family, Bryan Fagan 'built a house of Bricke and Slatted and Encompassed a large Garden with a Stone wall nine feet high' in 1738 as recounted in correspondence between Richard Mathews and Lord Fitzwilliam (NAI MSS 97/46/1/2/3/1; O'Kane 2011, 99).
