What is recorded here

According to Falkiner (1904, 59-60) in c. 1680 when the lands south of the Liffey were excluded from a re-organisation of Phoenix Park, a keepership was established at Castleknock Gate on the site of Mountjoy Barracks and the Ordnance Survey. There are no visible remains at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Upload date: 29 September 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
