What is recorded here

Richmond House stood as a castle on early maps before disappearing beneath a plain two-storey house in County Dublin. The building may have been a defensive seat, a wealthy residence or a boundary marker for a local family. It may have had a courtyard, a gatehouse or a hall large enough for feasts. The castle is gone, but the house still occupies the same land and carries the same name.

Duncans map (1821) has 'castle' marked here. Taylors map of the Environs of Dublin (1816 ) has 'castle of Richmond' marked on the site. Today there is a two-storey, 5 bay house on the site. There are no surface remains of the castle. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Upload date: 30 September 2011

Richmond House is thought to have been built in the early 19th century, likely as a country residence, and takes its name from the nearby Richmond Barracks in Dublin. Its historical significance lies in its early recorded presence as a 'castle' in local maps, reflecting changing land use and terminology in the region during the 19th century.
