Is Narrow Water Castle a Water castle, meaning: Is it surrounded by water-ditches or is it just at the bank of the river and the other 3 sides are not protected by water? In the latter case I will take Narrow Water Castle out of the article Water castle. Those of you, who have seen the castle: Please answer. --Rheinländer 09:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

It's a castle at the Narrow Water of Carlingford Lough, as I understand it. There's also a tower on the opposite shore of the narrows, to control passage in the lough. Certainly when I visited, Narrow Water Castle was at the side of the lough-side road, between the road and the shore of the lough. I walked round the exterior landside wall - it was not moated (but whether it may have been moated in the past, I don't know). Man vyi 13:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, Man vyi! The Castle is not a typical water castle, so I will take it out of the article water castle. There is Motte on the map only a few hundred meters away from the castle. --Rheinländer 10:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
