| | Parish of Dalkey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Dalkey has a history, like Bullock, before its castles were built, and, until the beginning of the 19th century, rock monuments, dating from the time of the primitive inhabitants, were to be seen near the town. |
 | | During the 8th century Dalkey was the scene of a battle between two Irish tribes, and Forgartach, son of Niall, King of Ireland, fell by the hand of Cinoeth, son of Ingalach, on its plain. |
 | | The close of the 16th century marks the disuse of Dalkey, and the adoption of Ringsend as the port of Dublin, and from that time the town lost its importance commercially, and soon became ruinous. |
