What is recorded here

Slane Castle stands above the River Boyne in County Meath, where Conyngham families have lived since taking the estate in 1703 and rebuilding it in the 1780s. Its grounds still hold the ghost of an older world: a well said in myth to have healed the Tuatha Dé Danann, and the ruined chapel of St. Erc beside the village church. The castle has also become a stage for huge festivals, its natural amphitheatre drawing crowds beneath windows that have watched empires change.
Slane Castle is recorded as a castle in County Meath. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Slane Castle was built in the 18th century by the Conolly family, who held the estate for several generations. It is important as a historic seat of an influential Anglo-Irish family and is remembered for its association with cultural events, including music festivals.
