- DU019-014001: Castle - Anglo-Norman masonry castle, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU019-014001-. Situated on a slight rise overlooking Dublin Bay just SW of a Church (DU019-015001-) and graveyard (DU019-015002-). The present castle is a Tudor-Revival House (1837) with a mock Norman keep attached, designed by Willliam Vitruvius Morrison. It occupies the site of a former castle associated in the 12th-century with Adam de Phephoe and later the Knights Hospitallers (Bence-Jones 1987, 87; Dawson 1976, 124-5, O'Donovan 1997, 17-18)). During the late 17th century the property passed to John Vernon, a quartermaster of Cromwell’s army in 1650. The Civil survey (1654-6) describes a castle with a stone house adjoining a stone bawn at Clontarf (Simington 1945, 176). Rocque's map (1760) shows a large rectangular bawn with circular bastions at the NW and NE angles, which was demolished in 1837. Excavations in 1996 revealed little evidence for the original castle except for a section of wall (W 2.6m) orientated N-S, which extends under the existing building (O'Donovan 1997, 17-18).

Located in a graveyard (DU019-015002-) situated at the NE boundary of Clontarf Castle Demesne. It may be on an earlier church site associated with St. Comgall. This is a plain rectangular building of undivided nave and chancel type (int. dims. L 21m, Wth 5.8m) with a tall single bellcote over the W gable and a residential tower attached. There was a N aisle originally entered through two arched openings in the N wall of the chancel (now blocked). Sometime after 1609 a N wing was attached. The nave is entered through a round-headed doorway on the S side. The interior is lit by tall plain round-headed, brick-faced windows. The residential tower in the W gable is entered through a semi-circular headed S doorway with chamfered sandstone jambs. The upper storey is offset and lit by a lunate window (Dillon Cosgrave 1977, 120-121).
- DU019-015002: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CDU019-015002-. Situated along the NE boundary of Clontarf Castle Demesne (Dillon Cosgrave 1977, 120-121). This relatively large walled in graveyard encloses the remains of a medieval church (DU019-015001-). It contains 18th to 20th century memorials. It is still in use.
