What is recorded here
Castlejordan holds a small limestone plaque marked 1632, embedded in the oldest wall of the present farmhouse. The date emerges from stone rather than ink, tying the house to a precise moment even when its earlier origin remains uncertain. That much is enough to remember: someone lived there, shaped the wall, and left a number behind.
A limestone plaque (Wth 0.31m; H 0.24m) with the date 1632 carved in relief is now built into the outer wall of the return of the present farmhouse, which is thought to be the oldest part of the house, but it might have come originally from either the nearby fortified house (ME052-004-----) or the tower house (ME052-005----).
