What is recorded here

Possible tower house, illustrated by Wright (1758, bk II, pl. 10) as having two square angle-towers and an arched gateway into a bawn (LH003-007002-). It is said to have been an O'Neill castle located at the highest part of the field (Carolan 1912, 19-20). No visible surface trace. The above description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 July 2007
