| Description |
Portmarnock (Port Mearnóg in Irish) is a town north of the city of Dublin in the County Fingal (previously North County Dublin) in the Republic of Ireland. It lies on the coast and, owing to its proximity to Dublin city, is a dormitory town 15 km north-northeast of the city centre. The town is situated along the Northern commuter railway line out of Dublin. Portmarnock station is also on the DART network. See rail transport in Ireland. The town's name derives from the Irish word port – meaning bank (e.g. of a river) – and Saint Marnoch or Mernoc, also remembered in the name of Kilmarnock in Scotland. He is said to have arrived in what is now Portmarnock in the 5th century AD. The area had been settled thousands of years before, in Neolithic times. A number of remains of activity in the Portmarnock area from these times is still evident today, with flints and other tools having been excavated at the north fringe of Portmarnock, while the remains of a ring fort are visible from the air at the south of the town. The son of Queen Maedhbh of Connaught - Maine - is also said to have been buried locally. |
