Rathmichael is a suburb in the south-east of Dublin, situated west of Shankill, from which it is separated by the M50/M11 motorways. It is characterised by extensive tracts of low-density dwellings, with large houses and gardens interspersed with open areas. It rises to the west towards the hill of Carrickgollogan in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. The chimney of the disused lead mines and the ruins of Puck's Castle on the northern flank of Carrickgollogan overlook the area.
