What is recorded here

Situated N of Crofton Road and York Road on the coast. A promontory fort noted by Reverend Stokes (1893, 347) as 'Dun of Dunleary' and located left of the old pier at Dunlaoghaire. A martello tower (DU023-052003-) was built in the middle of the fort. Its position is marked on Rocque's map of County Dublin (1765) as a circular mound by the harbour. The area was levelled to make way for the railway in 1834. The material from the dismantled earthwork was used to level the ground and form a foundation for the road (Casey 2001).
