What is recorded here

A 12th century castle was reputed to have been located on lands associated with Balgriffin Park. The Civil Survey (1654-6) mentions a stone house at Balgriffin (Simington 1945, 189). This was held by James Bath who owned vast estates in the Drumcondra area. There was a complex of farm buildings on a low-lying site known as Balgriffin Park which may be the site of this stone house. The site is now within open space of a housing development. A test excavation (Licence no. 00E0714) in advance of the Northern Fringe sewer immediately south of the site did not identify archaeological remains.
