Between 1862 and 1868, Lower Vartry Reservoir was formed by constructing a dam (on which you are standing) across the valley of the River Vartry. To provide additional shortage, a second dam, 3.5 km upstream, was completed in 1923, forming the Upper Reservoir. Both dams are earthen embankments with waterproof clay cores and have a stone facing on the upstream slope to prevent wave erosion.
The Lower Reservoir has a capacity of 11,300 million litres and a maximum water depth of 18.3 metres. The Upper Reservoir has a capacity of 5,600 million litres and a maximum water depth of 13.4 metres. On your right is the Draw Off Tower, through which water is abstracted from the reservoir and conveyed by pipe under the dam to the water treatment plant behind you. (Dublin City Council)

Kevin, a descendant of one of the ruling families in Leinster, studied as a boy under the care of three holy men, Eoghan, Lochan, and Eanna. During this time, he went to Glendalough. He was to return later, with a small group of monks to found a monastery where the 'two rivers form a confluence'. Kevin's writings discuss his fighting a "monster" at Glendalough; scholars today believe this refers to his process of self-examination and his personal temptations. His fame as a holy man spread and he attracted numerous followers. He died in about 618. For six centuries afterwards, Glendalough flourished and the Irish Annals contain references to the deaths of abbots and raids on the settlement. At the Synod of Rath Breasail in 1111, Glendalough was designated as one of the two dioceses of North Leinster. The Book of Glendalough was written there about 1131. St. Laurence O'Toole, born in 1128, became Abbot of Glendalough and was well known for his sanctity and hospitality. Even after his appointment as Archbishop of Dublin in 1162, he returned occasionally to Glendalough, to the solitude of St. Kevin's Bed. He died in Eu, in Normandy in 1180. In 1214, the dioceses of Glendalough and Dublin were united. From that time onwards, the cultural and ecclesiastical status of Glendalough diminished. The destruction of the settlement by English forces in 1398 left it a ruin but it continued as a church of local importance and a place of pilgrimage. Glendalough features on the 1598 map "A Modern Depiction of Ireland, One of the British Isles" by Abraham Ortelius as "Glandalag." Descriptions of Glendalough from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries include references to occasions of "riotous assembly" on the feast of St. Kevin on 3 June.
The present remains in Glendalough tell only a small part of its story. The monastery in its heyday included workshops, areas for manuscript writing and copying, guest houses, an infirmary, farm buildings and dwellings for both the monks and a large lay population. The buildings which survive probably date from between the tenth and twelfth centuries. (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")

This fine tower, built of mica-slate interspersed with granite is about 30 metres high, with an entrance 3.5 metres from the base. The conical roof was rebuilt in 1876 using the original stones. The tower originally had six timber floors, connected by ladders. The four storeys above entrance level are each lit by a small window; while the top storey has four windows facing the cardinal compass points. Round towers, landmarks for approaching visitors, were built as bell towers, but also served on occasion as store-houses and as places of refuge in times of attack.

The largest and most imposing of the buildings at Glendalough, the cathedral had several phases of construction, the earliest, consisting of the present nave with its antae. The large mica-shist stones which can be seen up to the height of the square-headed west doorway were re-used from an earlier smaller church. The chancel and sacristy date from the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. The chancel arch and east window were finely decorated, through many of the stones are now missing. The north doorway to the nave also dates from this period. Under the southern window of the chancel is an ambry or wall cupboard and a piscina, a basin used for washing the sacred vessels. A few metres south of the cathedral an early cross of local granite, with an unpierced ring, is commonly known as St. Kevin's Cross. (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")

This stone-roofed building originally had a nave only, with entrance at the west end and a small round-headed window in the east gable. The upper part of the window can be seen above what became the chancel arch, when the chancel (now missing) and the sacristy were added later. The steep roof, formed of overlapping stones, is supported internally by a semi-circular vault. Access to the croft or roof chamber was through a rectangular opening towards the western end of the vault. The church also had a timber first floor. The belfry with its conical cap and four small windows rises from the west end of the stone roof in the form of a miniature round tower. (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")

10.0536. --There was a long spread out at Glencree reformatory, Lenehan said
10.0537. eagerly. The annual dinner, you know. Boiled shirt affair. The lord mayor
10.0538. was there, Val Dillon it was, and sir Charles Cameron and Dan Dawson
10.0539. spoke and there was music. Bartell d'Arcy sang and Benjamin Dollard .....
15.1797. DR DIXON
15.1798. (reads a bill of health) Professor Bloom is a finished example of the new
15.1799. womanly man. His moral nature is simple and lovable. Many have found
15.1800. him a dear man, a dear person. He is a rather quaint fellow on the whole,
15.1801. coy though not feebleminded in the medical sense. He has written a really
15.1802. beautiful letter, a poem in itself, to the court missionary of the Reformed
15.1803. Priests' Protection Society which clears up everything. He is practically a
15.1804. total abstainer and I can affirm that he sleeps on a straw litter and eats the
15.1805. most Spartan food, cold dried grocer's peas. He wears a hairshirt of pure
15.1806. Irish manufacture winter and summer and scourges himself every
15.1807. Saturday. He was, I understand, at one time a firstclass misdemeanant in
15.1808. Glencree reformatory. Another report states that he was a very posthumous
15.1809. child. I appeal for clemency in the name of the most sacred word our vocal
15.1810. organs have ever been called upon to speak. He is about to have a baby.
Also, "the Glencree dinner," LB and MB had once, is repeatedly mentioned throughout Ulysses (U 08.0160, 13.0891, 18.0427 and 18.1285).
Reformatory Schools were institutions, certified by the Reformatory Schools Act (1858), that cared for juvenile offenders. They were run by religious orders, funded by the public, and regularly inspected. In 1904, there were 6 reformatory schools in Ireland. Three were for boys: Malone, Belfast; Philipstown, King's Co; St Kevins', Glencree (est. 1858). Three were for girls: High Park, Dublin; St Joseph, Limerick; Spark's Lake, Monaghan (Thom's 1904). This PC shows Marlborough Hall, Glasnevin, a Reformatory School est. 1905. (Cited from "Joyce Images | Circe" by Aida Yared)
