Having read the history and looked at the maps it seems 'enclave' is a good description. The 'invented' name 'Dollymount' seems of the 'Citywest' type; though in terms of size Dollymount doesn't really compare to clearly defined areas like Citywest or Cherrywood (though the latest OSi Street Guide doesn't give a district name to Citywest but does to Dollymount). Perhaps if the very well-known beach on the Bull island was called 'Clontarf Strand' instead of Dollymount Strand the name 'Dollymount' would have disappeared? ( )
