What is recorded here

Howth Castle stands as a late-medieval house rebuilt around 1650, with crenellated turrets flanking a central block. The 1738 renovation added a terrace and remodified openings, while the 1910 work reshaped the interior. Its roughcast walls and slate roof suggest a residence that adapted across centuries rather than freezing into one era.
