The local national (primary) school, Scoil Muire, first opened in 1943.[2] The village's Roman Catholic church, dedicated to St Mary, was built in 1978 on the site of an earlier 19th century church.[3]
Structures of note
Local sites of architectural note include the remains of Franckfort Castle which was built about 1730. Though now demolished, the ruined remains include a Gothic style curtain wall, entrance and towers.[4]
The construction of Dunkerrin's Church of Ireland church was funded by the 'Board of First Fruits' and completed around 1820. It is a four bay nave church with a three-stage tower. A stile in the stone boundary wall which encloses the church yard provides access to Frankfort Castle. A wall plaque reads, 'This wall was built by Francis Rollestown Esq. In the year 1757’.[5]
There is a late 19th century cast-iron water pump at the crossroads in Dunkerrin.[6]
