Rockbrook
Rockbrook (Irish: Sruth na gCloch)[1] is a small area, once site of a small settlement,[2] now semi-suburban, in County Dublin, Ireland. It is in the local government area of South Dublin.
Location
Rockbrook is situated approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) from Templeogue,[2] south of Ballyboden, on the R116 regional road, which is Cruagh Road uphill and Edmondstown Road downhill. The area lies between Edmondstown, Tibradden and Whitechurch,[3] within the civil parish of Whitechurch.[1] The area is traversed by multiple streams within the Owendoher River system, including Glendoo Stream; there were several watermills in the vicinity.[4]

In and near the area are several cemeteries.[3]
