Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Hiberno-English Clonmethan (Шаблон:Lang-ga;[1] formerly also Clonmelkin,[2] Kilmethan,[3] or Glimmethan[4]) is a townland and a civil parish in the ancient barony of Balrothery West, Fingal in Ireland.[5][6] It is bordered by the parishes of Palmerstown to the west, Grallagh to the north, Hollywood to the northeast, Westpalstown to the east, Killossery to the southeast, Killsallaghan to the south, and Greenoge, County Meath to the southwest.[7]
History
The parish was historically part of the manor of Swords, which was in the barony of Nethercross, which was formed from those parts of the Liberty of St. Sepulchre outside Dublin city and north of the River Liffey.[2] The prebend of Clonmethan was one of the original thirteen prebends of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin.[4] In 1675, the Dublin Castle administration by act of council united four other Church of Ireland parishes into the prebend of Clonmethan: Ballyboghill, Ballymadun, Palmerstown, and Westpalstown.[8] The prebend was in the gift of the Archbishop of Dublin.[8] In 1842 the configuration of the Dublin baronies was simplified and Clonmethan was transferred to the barony of Balrothery West.[3] The Manor Courts Abolition (Ireland) Act 1859 abolished the Manor of Swords.

St. Mary's Church, Clonmethan
The existing structure was built in 1818 with the help of the board of first fruits, and consecrated on August 5, 1821. The Glebe house had been built in 1817. The church closed in 1960 and has fallen into disrepair and no longer has a roof.[10] The Friends of Clonmethan was set up to preserve the church and burial grounds.[11] The chapel of Fieldstown (Glynsurd), which was dedicated to St. Catharine with its small graveyard, was subordinate to Clonmethan, it was in ruins by the 17th century. It was associated with St. Catherine's Well (sometimes called St. Bride's), a holy well, was on the land of Fieldstown House.[12]
