'''Cabinteely''' ({{Irish place name|Cábán tSíle|Sheila's cabin}})<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.logainm.ie/16675.aspx | publisher = Placenames Database of Ireland | website = logainm.ie | title = Cábán tSíle / Cabinteely (see archival records) | accessdate = 13 August 2024 }}</ref> is a suburb of [[Dublin]]'s [[Southside (Dublin)|southside]]. It is in [[Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown]], [[County Dublin]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]. The population of all electoral divisions labelled as Cabinteely was 15,864 as of the 2022 census.<ref name="cso2022"/>

==Geography==
Cabinteely lies around the crossroads of Johnstown Road / Brennanstown Road and the Old Bray Road, and on either side of the Stillorgan Dual Carriageway ([[N11 road (Ireland)|N11]]), which is parallel to the Old Bray Road. The [[R827 road]] runs from [[Blackrock, Dublin|Blackrock]] and terminates in Cabinteely.

Much of Cabinteely is parkland (Cabinteely Park and Kilbogget Park) or open countryside (around Laughanstown and Brennanstown).

Cabinteely borders [[Ballybrack]], [[Carrickmines]], [[Cherrywood]], [[Cornelscourt]], [[Deansgrange]], [[Foxrock]], [[Johnstown, County Dublin|Johnstown]], [[Killiney]] and [[Loughlinstown]].

==History and monuments==
The area has seen human activity since [[prehistoric]] times - there is a tomb known as Brennanstown Portal Tomb, Glendruid cromlech/dolmen, or The Druids' Altar near Cabinteely.<ref>[http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=6333405 Megalithic.co.uk]</ref><ref name="libraryireland.com">[http://www.libraryireland.com/topog/C/Cabinteely-Rathdown-Dublin.php libraryireland.com]</ref>

Excavations between 1957 and 1999 some 700m southeast of Cabinteely suggest that the area was of "considerable status and importance" from the 6th-7th centuries, with possible evidence of a church, ancillary buildings, possible workshops and a cemetery.<ref>[http://www.excavations.ie/Pages/Details.php?Year=&County=Dublin&id=1052 Excavations.ie]</ref>

Anecdotal evidence suggests that Cabinteely grew up around a tavern ({{Irish place name|Cabán tSíle|Sheila's Cabin}}) located at a crossroads on the main road linking Dublin with the South.{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}

[[File:Tully Celtic Cross (2) - geograph.org.uk - 530691.jpg|thumb|Tully Celtic cross]]
Cabinteely sits at the meeting point of the three [[medieval]] [[Civil parishes in Ireland|civil parishes]] of [[Tully (disambiguation)|Tully]], [[Kill, County Dublin|Kill]] and [[Killiney]], in the [[Barony (Ireland)|half-barony of Rathdown]]. The ruins of Kill Abbey/Grange Church are near [[Deansgrange]]. The modern suburb of Cabinteely is still split between these civil parishes.

The ruined 9th century [[Tully Church]] and graveyard<ref>[http://www.megalithicireland.com/Laughanstown%20Crosses.htm Megalithic Ireland]</ref> lies within the modern [[parish]] of Cabinteely at Laughanstown. Two [[high cross]]es from the 12th century stand in nearby fields,<ref>[http://www.geograph.ie/photo/530689 Geograph.ie]</ref> and a wedge tomb, all protected as [[National Monument (Ireland)|National Monuments]] (#216). It is likely the modern [[Church of Ireland]] parish of [[Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough|Tullow]], with a church nearby in [[Foxrock]], is related to that civil parish of Tully. Similarly, the modern [[Church of Ireland]] parish of [[Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough|Kill]] has a church in Deansgrange.

Cabinteely House was built in 1769 for [[Robert Nugent, 1st Earl Nugent|Robert Nugent, Lord Clare]],<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://architecturefoundation.ie/openhouse/dublin/tour/cabinteely-house1/ |title=Irish Architecture Foundation |access-date=2011-03-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110313112716/http://architecturefoundation.ie/openhouse/dublin/tour/cabinteely-house1/ |archive-date=2011-03-13 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and the surrounding demesne wall still mostly exists today (running along the Old Bray Road, Brennanstown Road, and Cornelscourt Hill). It later passed into the possession of the O'Byrne family of Wicklow, who were prominent in Cabinteely since the 1660s (the family originally lived in ''Marlfield House'').<ref>[http://www.araltas.com/features/byrne/ araltas.com]</ref><ref>[http://www.selectsurnames.com/byrne.html selectsurnames.com]</ref> William Richard O'Byrne (1823–1896), MP and author of the Naval Biographical Dictionary, owned and lived in Cabinteely House.<ref>[http://www.ricorso.net/rx/az-data/authors/o/OByrne_WR/life.htm ricorso.net]</ref> [[Joseph McGrath (Irish politician)|Joseph McGrath]] purchased the house in 1933. Cabinteely House finally passed into the possession of [[Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council]] in 1984.<ref>[http://www.dlrcoco.ie/Parks/Cabinteelypkhistory.htm Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council – History of Cabinteely House & Park]</ref>
