Address:
Ireland

Clontarf is a coastal suburb on the northside of Dublin, in Ireland. While Clontarf lacks a single village centre, historically there were two centres of population, one on the coast towards the city, and the fishing village of Clontarf Sheds, farther north on the coast at what is now Vernon Avenue. Clontarf has a range of commercial facilities in several locations, mainly centred on Vernon Avenue. It adjoins Fairview, Marino, Killester, Artane and Raheny, and is in the postal district Dublin 3. Clontarf is in the jurisdiction of Dublin City Council. Clontarf is most famous for the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, in which Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, defeated the Vikings of Dublin and their allies, the Irish of Leinster. This battle, which extended over a wide area, is seen as marking an end to the Irish-Viking Wars. Clontarf is also a civil parish in the ancient barony of Coolock.
