TEXT ON PICTURE:

CLONTARF - CLUAIN-TAIRBH. BULL'S MEADOW - This name is a curruption of Cluain-tairbh, "Bull's Meadow", an adjoining townland being named Clonturk, Cluaintuire, i.e. "Boar's Meadow". From what ancient droves these places derive their names is not known. Clontarf however, is famous for the defeat of the armies of the Norsemen by King Brian Boru in 1014. This defeat was of great importance not only to Ireland but to Europe, for it broke the power of all the Danish settlements, so that they never recovered their former strength. The Templars were settled at Clontarf about 1175, and were succeeded by the Hospitallers who maintained the Preceptory until the reign of Henry VIII.

Clontart, this name is a corruption of Cluain-tairbh (Bull's Meadow)..., Historic Names of Places Collection
