What is recorded here

Magdalene Tower is the surviving belfry of a Dominican friary founded near Drogheda in 1224, its stone rebuilt during the fourteenth century. Ulster chiefs bowed to Richard II beside it in 1367, while Father Bennett used the same neighbourhood to quiet a Boyne feud in 1412. The tower still stands where the friary disappeared, preserving a town that kept changing around it.

Magdalene Tower is recorded as a castle in County Louth. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.

Magdalene Tower in County Louth was built in the 17th century by the Magennis family, a prominent Gaelic Irish clan with significant influence in the region. It is remembered as a symbol of local Gaelic resistance and adaptation during the period of English colonial expansion in Ireland.
