"Near Killeen?"

[edit]

This article says the castle is "near Killeen". I was under the impression that it is in Killeen, and near Dunshaughlin. Where, then, is "Killeen village", which is apparently 7km from Dunshaughlin? (I've lived in Dunshaughlin most of my life) Edit: Upon further research, according to Logainm.ie, the placenames authority of Ireland, here it appears that Killeen is not even in Dunsany but rather is a townland and a civil parish. There are, according to the same source, 7 townlands in Meath named An Cillín/Killeen; however, only one of these townlands is a civil parish as well and that is this Killeen. If this is true, does anybody know why Dunsany is in the title? 86.42.19.155 (talk) 06:55, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. Have a look at Cusack and Dunsany where there is a map showing both Killeen and Dunsany also a few words about Dunsany and when a Norman castle might have been built. C.Cleeve (talk) 17:16, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
