This is a plain structure located eccentrically within a roughly oval-shaped graveyard, with a later cemetery off to the W.

• DU022-010 Castle - tower house
  Description

  The E end of Templeogue House incorporates a late tower house with a vaulted basement. This took place in the 18th century when Sir Compton Domville (d. 1721) took over the property from the Talbot Family and built a red brick mansion on the site (Handcock 1877, 105; Ball 1905, 3, 23-8). The exterior is pebble-dashed making it difficult to identify early architectural features. However a tower survives in the NE angle rising to three storeys. The N wall is inset for a distance (L 15m) W of this tower indicating the probable extent of the main chamber of the tower house. Interior is not accessible at the time of inspection (Healy 1975, 1-19). Archaeological testing in the undercroft of the building in 1996 revealed a primary layer of cobbling and drainage channels associated with imported stoneware and gravel-tempered wares dated to the late sixteenth-early 17th century(Swan 1997, 39-40).
