Galloping Green
"Part of the lands of GRANGE otherwise Dean's Grange, otherwise the Grange of Clonkeen of Galloping Green South; part of the MENSAL LANDS belonging to the Deanery of Christ Church also known as part of the Lands of FOXROCK and part of the lands called KEATING'S LANDS alias Kilteragh now called Kerrymount, near Carrickmines."
These lands were sold by the Deanery in 1859 to brothers William Wellington Bentley and John Bentley.
There were 67 lots on the above land in 1889 and these were put up for sale by auction by the owners - The Very Reverend John Sullivan and the Right Reverend James Alcock. Some 355 acres known as the Foxrock Estate comprising the entire land of Kerrymount, Deansgrange or Galloping Green, the mensal lands of Foxrock, together with part of the lands of Tipperstown or Silverpark which were all held in fee simple.
As a small village it would have had a public house and Byrnes have held the current pub since 1879, the appellation 'Philipstown House' is unknown but before that there was a public house known as 'The Cat and Bagpipes' at Galoping Green, the proprietor was a Mr Toole in 1807 who had been there for a number of years, followed by Jane Townsend who ran a public house there until 1817.
James Fitzharris ran the public house until he died in 1852, and was buried at Stillorgan graveyard. His widow Mary carried on the trade until at least 1868.
Galloping Green is a townland of Stillorgan and is split into North and South, now divided by the N11. On the composite Cassini map Belmont Row is erroneously annotated as Ball Alley and seems to have been confused with a Philipstown House in Drogheda where a Ball Alley was built in 1919. Unfortunately a lot of archaeology reports on the area have taken the map as verbatim and refer to the name of the area being changed in numerous reports.
