Tymon Castle

Demolished in 1960. It was formerly situated on a prominent gravel hillock off Tymon Lane. This was a small, square 15th-century tower house attached to the prebend of St Patrick's Cathedral. It is well illustrated in a drawing by Beranger dated 1763 (Harbison 1998, 44-45). It had two diagonally opposed corner towers, one containing a stair tower. The entrance was placed unusually in the SW stair tower and defended by machicolation. It rose to three storeys with a vaulted basement and battlements (Johnson 1988, 557-72).

Tymon Castle, Tymon North was a 15th-century tower house associated with the prebend of St Patrick's Cathedral, likely held by ecclesiastical or local gentry. It is remembered for its historical and architectural significance as a well-documented example of a medieval tower house in the Dublin area before its demolition in 1960.
