About
An excellent example of the tower house and bawn, built in 1568 at the strategic spot where the Newry River meets Carlingford Lough. It replaced the nearby Anglo-Norman fortification built in 1212 by Hugh de Lacy, 1st Earl of Ulster, to prevent attacks on Newry by the river as part of the area’s Norman defences. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
Visitors can enjoy exploring the surrounding grounds and take in the striking setting where river and lough meet. While the interior is currently closed to allow for important conservation works, the site still offers a fascinating glimpse into its historic past and strategic significance.
