The precise location of Owney Castle in the townland of Abington has not been identified. The medieval castle was probably located somewhere close to the medieval settlement (LI014-014001-) of Owney possibly between Abington bridge (LI014-014008-) and the Cistercian abbey (LI014-014002-) of Owney (Seymour 1907, 367). In 1452 the annals recorded that 'The Earl of Ormond, Lord Justice of Ireland, broke down the castle of Owny upon O'Mulrian' (AFM, 979).
