Turvey House was a substantially altered 16th-century house, with tower house elements, synonymous with the townland of Turvey (Irish: Tuirbhe) near Donabate in North County Dublin. Turvey is said to be a reference to the Irish mythical character Tuirbe Tragmar ("thrower of axes"), father of Gobán Saor. At various stages, the house and surrounding lands formed the family seat of the Barnewall family. The house is said to have been constructed with stone from the ruins of the nearby Grace Dieu Abbey by either Sir Christopher Barnewall or Sir Patrick Barnewall.The house was demolished in controversial circumstances by a construction company, the Murphy Group, in 1987.
