- DU023-007 Ecclesiastical site
Description
Site annotated 'Monastery (in ruins)' on the 1837 ed. OSi 6-inch map where a possible structure is shown to the E of the Gate lodge on the landscaped demesne lands of Stillorgan Priory located 320m to the NNE. Three small rectangular structures standing on the N side of a field boundary running NE-SW are depicted on the 1863 ed. OSi 25-inch map. According to Ball (1902, 129), the house Stillorgan Priory was named after the monastery ruins located on the demesne lands. Today the site of the monastery stands 680m N of Stillorgan church and graveyard, in a flat urban site between the N11 Stillorgan Road and the Old Dublin Road. The monastery ruins on the 1837 ed. OSi 6-inch may have formed part of the church lands in Stillorgan which in 1216 were granted by Raymond Carew to the Priory of the Holy Trinity (Christchurch Cathedral DU018-020270-) (Ball 1902, 130). Today there are no surface remains visible, a car park and small wooded area now stands on the site of the possible monastery (Healy 1975).
