Greenhills

Greenhills ()〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Greenhills )〕 is a suburb of Dublin in Ireland. It sits between Kimmage, Tallaght, Templeogue, Terenure and Walkinstown. It is generally understood to comprise the Greenhills Estate (the "saints" roads, e.g. St. Josephs's Road, St. James's Road, St. Peter's Road) as well as Greenpark, Limekiln and Temple Manor. Some would also include the estates of Fernhill, Mountdown, and Glenmurray in a broader definition. The postcode is Dublin 12.
==Name and history==
The area was mostly farmland until expansion in the 1950s and 1960s led to the building of new housing estates. However, Greenhills, situated just below the esker upon which the Greenhills Road now runs, is believed to have housed settlements as long ago as 1800 BC. An urn dating from that time, found in the late 1890s in the former quarry between the Greenhills Road and St. Columba's Road, is on display in the National Museum of Ireland.
The name comes from the sand-based hills that were formerly prevalent in the area. Most of these were excavated for building work; the last remaining hill,known locally as the "Horseshoe," was flattened in 2003. This was in fact artificially created when Greenhills Park was laid out, probably to create a playground area that was never built. It was located in the centre of Greenhills Park.
