What is recorded here

Castle, tower house in Allardstown (louth By) stands in County Louth, Ireland. The Down Survey barony map marked a castle at this point in Killincoole parish during 1656-8, though its exact spot has slipped from modern certainty. A house at Grange appears nearby on the Taylor and Skinner map, hinting that the tower still casts its shadow through ordinary walls.
