Originally built in the 13th century, Narrow Water Castle was rebuilt during the 1560s to house a garrison. The castle is strategically placed on a promontory commanding the narrows of the Newry River at the landward end of Carlingford Lough. The castle's solitary stone tower is surrounded by an outer wall or 'bawn'.
