A story from Warrenpoint
Two Narrow Waters, not one
In short: Narrow Water Castle, the tower on the shore, is a 16th-century defensive tower house, while the large Narrow Water house is a later building belonging to the Hall family's estate.
People often mix them up, but the tower by the water and the big Narrow Water house are two different buildings from two different times. The keep on the shore is a 16th-century defensive tower. The house came later, and belongs to the Hall family's story of running the estate and growing the town.
