• DU014-034 Burial ground
  Description

  The 1938 OS map locates the burials ground next the River Road cottages. The finding of a skeleton and two skulls in a field near the river Tolka were first reported to the National Museum of Ireland by the Garda Sergeant at Blanchardstown in 1937. In 1938 the National Museum led an excavation there. About one third of the site was excavated and almost 400 skeletons of men, women and children were uncovered and removed for examination. Blue and white glass beads, a lignite ring, bronze pins, flint arrowheads and some iron objects were found with them. A silver coin of Eadgar of England dated AD 967 was also found indicating the site was in use in the 10th century (NMI Topographical Files). Currently a field of pasture.

• DU017-008 Graveyard
  Description

  St. Brigid's Church of Ireland church in Castleknock village was built on the site of a church (DU017-008001-) attached to the Benedictine Priory of Little Malvern (Ball 1920, 33) now stands in the centre of a large rectangular-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 66m N-S x 85m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall with entrance gate to E.  Graveyard contains memorials from the post-1700 period onwards (NLI, PD 1958 TX 39). Possible priory church (DU017-008003-) of the Benedictine Order stood on the site of the present church or in close proximity within the graveyard.  Graveyard not listed in the Dublin SMR (1988)  and listed as DU017-00802- in the Dublin RMP (1998).     Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien   Date of Compilation: 25 November 2025

• DU017-008001 Church
  Description

  St. Brigid's Church of Ireland church (built c. 1806) standing in the centre of a graveyard in the village of Castleknock stands on the site of a medieval priory church associated with the Benedictine Priory of Little Malvern, Worcestershire, England (Ball 1920, 33).  The priory church was dedicated to Saint Brigid.  St Bridget’s holy well (DU017-009----) stands 55m to the SSE of the church.  The Anglo-Norman masonry castle (DU017-012002-) built by Richard Tyrrel c. 1185 stands on a motte-and-bailey (DU017-012001-) 670m to the SSW of the church site.  Listed in the Dublin SMR (1988) as Church ‘Site of’ where it was assigned the SMR Number DU017-008---.  Listed in the Dublin RMP (1998) as Church ‘Site of’ where it was assigned the RMP No. DU017-00801.  The enclosing graveyard was listed in the 1998 RMP as DU017-00802-.  It is not clear if the 19th-century church incorporates fabric from the medieval priory church or whether the medieval church was levelled completely and replaced by the present building in the early 19th-century.  The medieval church consisted of a western battlemented bell-tower with nave and chancel church with a north and southern aisles attached to the chancel.  In the post-reformation period the chancel and its aisles were abandoned and the nave was reused as the chancel of the church with attached western tower.  In the early 19th-century the medieval church was replaced by the present church that was described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) as a; ‘Detached Church of Ireland church, built 1806, with three-stage tower to west gable. Flanking side aisles added c.1860, comprising three-bay side elevations with gabled terminating bays to east forming transepts. Stained glass window dedicated to Saint Hubert by Harry Clarke’ (NIAH Reg. No. 11362003). Ronan (1941, 33; 1940, 184) recorded that Richard Tyrrell ‘granted certain lands of Castleknock (c. 1185) to endow a religious house there in honour of St. Brigid, the patroness of the church. The Benedictines of Little Malvern, Worcestershire, built their cill or priory beside the church and received a grant (1219) from Archbishop de Loundres of certain tithes of Castleknock for the purpose of adding five monks to the priory’. Archbishop de Loundres, built a church in the churchyard for the vicar of the parish, and erected it as a predend in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in 1227 (ibid). The 1615 Royal Visitation of Dublin Diocese recorded that John Rice was the vicar of Castleknock vicarage standing in the Deanery of Taney, with John Ryse then serving as a reading minister, the church and chancel (Ecclesia et cancella) was in good condition with books (Ronan 1941, 33).  The medieval church was described on the 5th of May in 1782 by the antiquarian and artist, Austin Cooper, who wrote in his notebook that the church; ‘here is plain and neat contain[in]g ab[ou]t 14 seats & a small Gallery over the door, the entrance is thro[ugh] a square embattled steeple wherein are a couple of bells terminating with a wooden cupola & a weather cock whereon are the letters G.K.G. – C.W.’ (Price 1942, 68).  The medieval church was described in the 1654-56 Civil Survey of Dublin as ‘the walls of an Olde Church’ (Simington 1945, 242) with the tithes belonging to Sir Robert Meredith by lease from St Patrick’s Cathedral Church (ibid. 241).  The Civil Survey recorded that there was about four ‘Acres of Gleebland in the Church town of Castleknock with three Cottages Belongeinge therto’ (ibid. 250). Depicted on Rocque’s 1760 Map of County Dublin as a T-plan church with southern transept standing in the centre of a square-shaped graveyard.  A painting of the southern side of Castleknock Church by Gabriel Beranger dating from 1771 shows the rendered lime-washed building as consisting of an undivided chancel (original medieval nave?) with western bell-tower with battlemented wall walk (NLI, PD 1958 TX 39). To the east of the chancel there is an un-rendered structure with battlemented wall-walk, twin light ogee-window with hood-moulding above located off centre to the east in the south wall. Two other single light pointed windows visible in the south wall.  Remains of a pointed window in the centre of the east wall, broken wall on north-east corner suggests that it was attached to a larger structure/chancel which was levelled prior to the 1771 painting.  Possible remains of the southern aisle of the medieval chancel. The whitewashed church with three round-headed windows in the southern wall was the original nave of the medieval church that was later reused as the main body of the church when the chancel was abandoned possibly in the post-reformation period.   According to Ball (1920, 36) the medieval church at Castleknock had a chancel of ‘two arched aisles’ one of these was possibly Burnell’s chapel’.   Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien   Date of Compilation: 25 November 2025

• DU017-008003 Religious house - Benedictine monks
  Description

  St. Brigid's Church of Ireland church (built c. 1806) standing in the centre of a graveyard in the village of Castleknock stands on the site of a medieval priory church associated with the Benedictine Priory of Little Malvern, Worcestershire, England (Ball 1920, 33; De Varebeke 1950).  The priory church was dedicated to Saint Brigid.  St Bridget’s holy well (DU017-009----) stands 55m to the SSE of the church.  The Anglo-Norman masonry castle (DU017-012002-) built by Richard Tyrrel c. 1185 stands on a motte-and-bailey (DU017-012001-) 670m to the SSW of the church site.

• DU017-009 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  'St. Bridget's Well (Covered)' stands at the corner of the Chapelizod Road in Castleknock Village, 25m SSE of St Brigid's Church (DU017-008001-) and graveyard. There is a water pump on the site and a blocked opening behind it which may have been the original location of the well. There are inscribed sandstone tablets with text embedded in a brick-built recesses either side of the pump. These contain quotations from the Book of Revelations 7:14-17 and John 4:13 - 'He (Jesus) shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes' / 'Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst' (Ó Danachair 1958, 75).

• DU017-012001 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  Located on a steep natural rise west of the Vincentian College. Along with Windmill Hill it is the highest point in landscape with extensive views. The motte is oval in plan (c.30m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE; H 18.5m see Ball 1920, 2-5) with a keep and curtain wall. Inner keep has castle remains (DU017-012002-) at east end and curtain wall along north to east where there is a sheer drop down. South defined by a tree line behind which is also a sheer drop. The Priest's graveyard is within the enclosed area. The motte is enclosed by two fosses which were better preserved when inspected by Ball in 1920; the upper fosse is only visible along the NW and is silted up in the ESE where there is pathway to the keep (DU017-012002-); (dims. after Ball 1920, 2-5; upper fosse Wth 5m, D 3m; lower fosse Wth c. 10m, D c. 4.5m). Outer hedged along exterior. Fosse bottoms flat-based and relatively clear-may reflect use as pathways. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 29 January 2015

• DU017-012002 Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle
  Description

  Located on a natural prominence west of the present Vincentian College. The W side of a polygonal keep with it's W section of curtain wall stands at the E end of a motte (DU017-012001-). The keep rises to two storeys. It is built of regular blocks of coursed limestone masonry with slate packing. Traces of a staircase were visible to first floor level (wall Wth 2.25m). An opening through the W section of keep is supported by concrete additions. Traces of machiolation survive above this opening. The base of the castle appears to have been damaged by ivy removal and there are substantial stone missing. Massively overgrown with ivy. Built by Sir Hugh Tyrell Governor of Trim in c.1174. In 1316 Edward Bruce brother of Robert laid seige to it. A 1698 sketch shows a substantial structure four storeys high with battlements, a base batter and large windows at first floor level (Sweetman 1999, 85). There is a straight seam between the curtain wall and keep which indicates two phases of construction. The area enclosed by the curtain wall (H 2.6m) is irregular in plan (dims. c. 30m E-W, c. 20m N-S, 2.60m). It serves as a cemetery for the Vincentian Order. In the junction between the keep and curtain wall there are traces of a vaulted opening overlooking the earthen defences. The inner face of the curtain wall is under-cut. There is a base batter around the exterior in the W section and remains of garderobe chute. An arched recess in the interior of the curtain wall is probably a later addition (Ball 1920, 2-5, Leask 1941, 43).

• DU017-013001 Burial
  Description

  Located on the grounds of the Vincentian college beside Castleknock village. This is a natural hillock known as Windmill Hill.  Listed in the Dublin SMR (1988) as an ‘Earthwork Unclassified’ which was based on a reference to ‘a rath’ in the Dublin Penny Journal of 1835 when it stated that Windmill Hill was the remains of a ‘Rath’ (Anon 1835, 237).  The hill was determined by the SMR to be the remains of a natural hill and was not included in the Dublin RMP (1998) as the classification had been changed to redundant record.  The classification was changed in 2015 from redundant record to burials based results from test excavation carried out in 2007 under licence No. 07E0682Ext. (McLoughlin 2007) which was undertaken around the water tower in advance of the insertion of a new water tank. Four grave-cuts with human skeletal remains were identified east of the extant tower. Development was redesigned to allow for preservation in situ (McLoughlin 2007). Subsequent geophysical survey under Licence no. 07R0233 identified a cross-shaped anomaly (Nicholls 2007) which was interpreted by archaeologist Christine Baker as possibly marking the possible site of the eponymous windmill (DU017-013002-).  It is uncertain if there was a medieval windmill at Castleknock and the placename may be a reference to the 18th-century circular ‘Watch Tower’ on the summit of the hill rather than named after the site of a levelled medieval windmill.     Compiled by:  Caimin O'Brien   Date of Compilation: 25 November 2025

• DU017-013002 Designed landscape - belvedere
  Description

  Natural flat-topped hillock known as Windmill Hill, on the demesne landscape of St. Vincent's College, standing 240m E of Castleknock motte (DU017-012001-) and Anglo-Norman stone castle (DU017-012002-). Along with the motte, the hill is the highest point (276 ft. OD) in the landscape with extensive views of the surrounding land. Listed in the Dublin SMR (1988) as ‘Windmill Possible’, and  included in the Dublin RMP (1998) as ‘Windmill Site’. On the summit of the flat-topped hill there is a circular stone tower (diam. c. 6m) which is annotated ‘Tower’ on all editions of the OSi historic maps.  Annotated ‘Tower’ on Rocque's 1760 map of Dublin County (Rocque 1762).   The tower (Watch Tower) was painted by the antiquarian Gabriel Beranger in 1768 who described the painting as a ‘View of two hillocks, one bearing a watchtower and the other bearing the castle of Castleknock’ (NLI, PD 1958 TX 32). The painting shows a circular tower then known as a ‘Watch Tower’ standing on the summit of a flat-topped hill with the remains of a broken out ground floor doorway and the castle of Castleknock standing on the motte in the background. The condition of the stone tower as painted in 1768 is similar to the remains of the tower still visible today.  In 1835 the Dublin Penny Journal recorded that this tower on Windmill Hill ‘was erected by Mr Guinn for an observatory, but afterwards let go to ruin’ (Anon. 1835, 236).  This watch-tower was described by archaeologist Gill McLoughlin as; ‘of mortared random rubble construction, lit by three pointed arch windows, with opposing doorways facing W and E.  No roof survives’ (Mc Loughlin 2007).  This stone watch tower was described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) as a; ‘Ruined windmill tower, c. 1800, on a circular plan with random rubble stone walls, containing water storage unit within’ (NIAH Reg. No. 11362021).   Geophysical survey was undertaken (Licence no. 07R0223) in advance of the insertion of a new water tank which identified a 'criss-cross pattern of potential interest' at ITM coords (708721/736533) (Nicholls 2007).  It has been suggested that this cross-like anomaly may be the remains of the site of a levelled windmill.  It is possible that the name ‘Windmill Hill’ was mistakenly applied to this hill based on the presence of the circular shaped ‘Watch Tower’ which does have the appearance of a windmill. Alternatively the ‘Watch Tower’ may have been converted into a windmill from which the hill received its name.  Or the hill was named after a medieval windmill that was levelled.    Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien

• DU017-091 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Geophysical survey (Licence no. 04R052) and test excavation (Licence no. 04E0796) in advance of residential development. Features identified including a curvilinear gully, refuse pits and post/stakeholes were subsequently excavated (Licence no. 04E0935). At the east of the site, a small kiln appeared to have been truncated by a later pit. It consisted of a drystone setting or lining along the sides of a cut with oxidisation along the base. To the west of the kiln structural features indicated a small shelter or work area, centred on a hearth, in association with a series of refuse pits and a curvilinear gully. A large quantity of medieval pottery, c. 2989 sherds, was recovered, dating to the late 13th and early 14th centuries, including pottery wasters, ladles or pipkins with hooked handles, cooking vessels, and jugs with slashed and plain strap handles, thumbed rims and bases. Applied body decoration included so-called raspberry 'prunts'. A two-colour floor tile of probable 13th-century date was also found within the scorched backfill of an additional hearth. This corresponds to the provisional date for the majority of the pottery recovered from the site. Other finds included a copper alloy stick pin, spindle whorl, a fragment of a rotary quernstone and a carved, slightly serrated, bone piece possibly used to decorate pottery (Campbell, K. 2004:0480 www.excavations.ie).

• Farmleigh, country house, 1850–1885 · National interest
  Description

  Detached multiple-bay three-storey house over basement, built 1881. Pedimented two-bay entrance breakfront with port cochere.Farmleigh, an estate of 78 acres situated to the north-west of Dublin's Phoenix Park, was purchased from the Guinness family by the Irish Government in 1999. The house has been refurbished by the Office of Public Works as accommodation for visiting dignitaries, for high level Government meetings, and for public enjoyment. Originally a small Georgian house built in the late 18th century, Farmleigh was purchased by Edward Cecil Guinness (1847-1927) on his marriage to his cousin, Adelaide Guinness in 1873. A great-grandson of Arthur Guinness, founder of the eponymous brewery, Edward Cecil became the first Earl of Iveagh in 1919. The first major building programme was undertaken in 1881-84 to designs by Irish architect James Franklin Fuller (1832-1925), who extended the House to the west, refurbished the existing house, and added a third storey. In 1896 the Ballroom wing was added, designed by the Scottish architect William Young (1843-1900). With the addition of a new Conservatory adjoining the Ballroom in 1901, increased planting of broadleaves and exotics in the gardens, Farmleigh had, by the early years of the 20th century, all the requisites for gracious living and stylish entertainment. Its great charm lies in the eclecticism of its interior decoration ranging from the classical style to Jacobean, Louis XV, Louis XVI and Georgian.
