The story

Narrow Water Castle (Irish: Caisleán an Chaoil; Ulster-Scots: Narra Wattèr Castle) is a 16th-century tower house and bawn near Warrenpoint in Northern Ireland. It is beside the A2 road and on the County Down bank of the Clanrye (Newry) River, which enters Carlingford Lough 1-mile (1.6 km) to the south. It is a historic monument in state care, within Newry and Mourne District Council district, in the townland of Narrow Water. The tower house was occupied by the Hall family from the 17th until the 19th century, when they built a large Elizabethan revival-style mansion, also known as Narrow Water Castle, within the same townland.
