Balrothery

Balrothery (Irish: Baile an Ridire, meaning 'Town of the Knight') is a village and civil parish located in Fingal, County Dublin, Ireland.

[1] The village is located about 2 km south of Balbriggan on the R132, previously the old N1 Dublin-Belfast road.

A single feudal barony of Balrothery was held in 1343 by Richard Costentyn for one knight's fee.

It is dominated by the tower of the medieval church of St Peter, which stands on the southern edge of the village.

Balrothery has one primary level national school, named after the saint Oliver Plunkett.
