Bishopstown Castle

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Bishopstown Castle, also called Bishop's Court, was a tower house on Bishop of Meath land in Killare parish, recorded in the Down Survey and drawn as ruined in 1837. Residents remember a three-acre enclosure with a ten-foot bank and stone facing, but by the early 1950s that defensible shape had been levelled into ordinary farmland. What remains is a absent outline: a place known through maps, memory and the loss of its own edges.
Bishopstown Castle is recorded as a archaeological place in County Westmeath. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
