The National Monuments Service's description
A castle is shown on Taylor and Skinner's map of 1777 (Stubbs 1911, 350), but not on the 1778 edition. The precise location is not known.
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.
