Recorded monuments

• DU022-017 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  This is an 18th-century castellated building with some 19th-century remodelling that incorporates a 16th-century castle built by the 5th Lord Trimblestown (Bence-Jones 1988, 244-245). It houses administration in the campus of University College, Dublin. The original castle was almost totally destroyed during the 1641 Rebellion (Mc Dix 1897, 129). Austin Cooper in his diaries c. 1781 describes a large L-shaped castle with an inscribed stone in a window of the NW angle. This displayed the Arms of the Trimblestown family and in a later inscription 'in 1509 John the 3rd Baron of Trimblestown was Lord Chancellor of Ireland and resided in the castle here' (Price 1943 58). The castle was re-built c. 1794 by the 13th Lord of Trimblestown with the further addition of a three-storey Victorian Gothic porch with a battlemented gable in 1874.
