    Hi all

    I was just wondering if anyone has any information on cherrywood business park in South county Dublin, and its history.

    I know it used to be the barley fields but was there houses ect. Just accross from tullyvale there is an old worn structure and a large stone cross. Is this of any significance to the area?

    From what I can remember of the building phase they paused after some burial was found? I was only young so not sure... Thanks for any info.

    To the best of my memory the majority of the land was a farm belonging to Carroll's of cigarette fame and was bought by a man called Galvin in the late 60's. There was a stately house belonging to the farm that was demolished in the early 70's, the entrance was at the top of Loughlinstown hill near the cottages that survive. Some of the land also belonged to a family called Stevenson's who are still there, their farmyard is directly behind the wall on the other side of the M50 as you head towards Bray. The old structure and cross is Tully church and cross, quite well known. http://www.megalithicireland.com/Laughanstown%20Crosses.htm
    As an aside, the name of the area, Laughanstown, is pronounced something like "Lockanstown" on the Luas, but was traditionally pronounced "La-hawnstown" by the locals
