Did you notice... A column to add interest to your recreational walk! Seamus Cannon

Did you notice the torrent of water that constantly flows under Pakenham Road? It is particularly audible where Pakenham Road intersects with the Hill on one side and Grosvenor Terrace on the other. This is the point where two streams have come together, the Monkstown Stream coming down from Monkstown Valley and Micky Brien’s stream which comes down from . The latter is also known as Rochestown Stream, and passes down through the grounds of Monkstown Castle and behind the Old Monkstown graveyard. It must have been very muddy here before the streams were culverted and I remember seeing regularly shaped stepping stones on an occasion when the roads were being excavated at this point. The stream discharges into the Old Harbour of Dun Laoghaire. This stream was of great significance historically. It determined the site of the Dún of Laoghaire, fifth century High King of Ireland who established his fort above the estuary. It may have determined the site of a monastic settlement in the old graveyard, but this has not been authenticated. There was a mill on the stream in the middle ages and a bridge crossed it at the top of Carrickbrennan Road. The stream also determined the siting of Monkstown Castle. When a site was being sought for a new harbour in the early years of the nineteenth century, attention focused on the only sheltered creek on the south side of Dublin Bay. At the time the coastline was rugged and barren and the small harbour at Dunleary afforded some little shelter to fishermen. Following a dreadful shipping disaster in 1807, that estuary became the site of the largest artificial harbour in the world, leading to the development of the town of Dun Laoghaire/Kingstown in the nineteenth century. Work began on the new harbour on May 31st 1817, exactly 200 years ago.
