The district’s name derives from the Irish word port – meaning port – and Saint Marnoch or Mernoc, said[6] to have arrived in what is now Portmarnock in the 5th century AD.The area had been settled in Neolithic times, with a number of remains of activity in the area still evident today, such as flints and other tools having been excavated at the northern fringe of Portmarnock. Further, the remains of a ring fort are visible from the air at the south of the town. The son of Queen Maedhbh of Connaught – Maine – is also said to have been buried locally.
