This 'Where in the County' looks at the 27 standing castles of Louth. Harry Tempest in 1944 listed these. Thanks to the contributions of members, Conor and Harry, we had photos of 26 of these and thanks to Miriam now we have the 27th! Obviously there are other identified sites where castles once stood (37) motes (motte) (19) and town gate castle sites (15).
