What is recorded here

Indicated, Castlejordan is a ruined bawn in County Meath, Ireland. Its broken ivy-covered wall still marks the edge of a lost courtyard, while a later garden occupies much of the space where people once lived, worked and defended themselves. The castle has vanished, but the boundary remains, holding the shape of the place in memory.

Situated in the valley of the Castlejordan River with a NNE-SSW section of the stream c. 50m to the SE. Extending WSW from the fortified house (ME052-004----) is a bawn wall (L c. 40m; T 1.2m; H c. 4m), overgrown with ivy and with some breaks, probably where dressed stone has been removed from embrasures. The tower house (ME052-005----) is c. 60m to the SW of the fortified house and may have occupied the SW angle of the bawn, but no traces of the bawn wall are associated with it and a later walled garden (dims c. 75m ENE-WSW; c. 35m NNW-SSE) occupies much of the area of the bawn.
