Knocklyon
Knocklyon () is a suburb of Dublin in county of South Dublin, within the old County Dublin, Ireland. Unlike many Dublin suburbs, Knocklyon was not developed around a village; rather it largely comprises modern housing built between the village of Templeogue and the former hamlet, now a suburb in its own right, of Firhouse. A number of old cottages and farmhouses along Knocklyon Road attest to the area's rural past. Etymology The area has been known historically in 14th-century scrolls as ''Cnoclín'', literally 'flax mountain'. Until recently, roadsigns in Knocklyon had an incorrect "reverse anglicised" translation, giving ''Lyon's hill'' or ''Cnoc Liamhna'', so for example, the Irish-language wording on signs for Knocklyon Road showed ''Bóthar Chnoc Liamhna''. The local authority have updated their translation based on recommendations from the commissioned update on Irish placenames. Location Knocklyon is located among the southwestern suburbs of the city, in the foothill ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
