What is recorded here
Castle Field in Stonetown Lower preserves a vanished castle, but no wall, ditch or tower remains visible for anyone to touch or measure. The ground keeps the shape of a missing building while people walk across it unaware.
The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
