What is recorded here

Castle in Unknown Townland, County Dublin. No public fact is missing because the name and place are complete. The claimant may add a visible marker, a chamber, a room function or a local account. That is an observation, not an invented history.

In the 17th century a castle and six other dwellings stood upon the lands of Terenure occupied by Terenure College. They were in the possession of the Barnewall family (Simington 1945, 290). At the end of the 17th century Major Deane of Crumlin built a mansion on the site. It was his residence until 1699 (Mac Giolla-Phadraig 1954, 8, 10, 11). In 1787 Terenure House was re-built (op. cit. 12-13). No early features in the present building were identified. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 27 July 2014

The castle was held by the Barnewall family in the 17th century. It is remembered as part of the historic estate associated with Terenure College.
