What is recorded here

Castle, unclassified in Castletowndelvin is a lost castle in County Westmeath, Ireland. In 1659 it was still a small castle with cabbins, belonging to the chief seat of the Earle of Westmeath and the old market town of Delvin. The village may have grown around its gates, markets and commands, but the castle itself has slipped from the present day.

The precise location of a second castle in the village of Delvin has not been identified. Described in the terrier of the 1659 Down Survey map of Castletown parish as a ‘small castle in repaire with Diverse small cabbins, this was formerly a market town [Delvin] & the Earle of Westmeaths cheife seate’ (NLI, MS 723-4).
