- LH010-004001: Castle - motte and bailey, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLH010-004001-. Situated on a low ridge at the S side of the River Longfield and consisting of a large flat-topped mound (max. H 8.8m, diam. at base 28-36m, at summit 17.5m-20m), the remains of a wide fosse at NW only, and a bailey (H 1-3m, dims. 36m by 39m) at the ESE. The bailey was made by scarping around its perimeter but its exact outline is difficult to define. Wright (1758, bk I, pls XV, XVI) illustrates the motte and bailey with a wide fosse surrounding both features and an octagonal structure (LH010-004002-) on the summit of the mound. There is now no evidence for these features. (Wright 1758, bk I,10, pls XV, XVI; Orpen 1908, 266-9). 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).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
