Field known locally as the 'Castle Field'. Reputedly the site of Niselrath Castle, a probable tower house, described in 1599 as 'a square castle and a great bawne with a good dytche rounde abowte it' (Paterson 1944, 321-2). 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
