Clondalkin Guide

Clondalkin (Irish: Cluain Dolcáin, meaning Dolcan's meadow) is a village and suburb 10 km west of Dublin City, Ireland, situated in the administrative area of South County Dublin. The name also relates to religious parishes.

Clondalkin is home to a well preserved 8th century round tower that acts as a focal point for the area. Acknowledged as one of the oldest and best preserved in the country (despite numerous storms and an explosion which destroyed the local mill in 1856), it is 25.6 metres high and has its original conical cap.
