Callary Road, is in the Mount Merrion area of south Dublin

It may have been mentioned..  Calary is also the name of an area near to the Sugarloaf / Kilmanaogue area, in Co. Wicklow

an update on this :

'Mountmerrion or Callary' is included as a townland on Griffiths Valuation (dated 1849) on AskAboutIreland

   see : http://www.rootschat.com/links/0671/

   list of residents : http://www.rootschat.com/links/0672/

It also appears on the townland database at www.thecore.com/seanruad - which shows an area of 376 acres.

Most (if not all) of the townland seems to a single large estate, with gardens and a gatehouse. The area is bounded to the North and East by the location  of Foster Avenue and Stillorgan road. The present Callary Road would run right though the middle of the townland.
