Louth County Council
Louth County Council Establishment of Groundwater Source Protection Zones Ardee Water Supply Scheme Curraghbeg Borehole January 2012 Revision 4 Prepared by: Gerry Baker, WYG Ireland In collaboration with: Geological Survey of Ireland And in Partnership with: Louth County Council With contributions from: Natalya Hunter Williams, GSI PROJECT DESCRIPTION Since the 1980’s, the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) has undertaken a considerable amount of work developing Groundwater Protection Schemes throughout the country. Groundwater Source Protection Zones are the surface and subsurface areas surrounding a groundwater source, i.e. a well, wellfield or spring, in which water and contaminants may enter groundwater and move towards the source. Knowledge of where the water is coming from is critical when trying to interpret water quality data at the groundwater source. The Source Protection Zone also provides an area in which to focus further investigation and is an area where protective measures can be introduced to maintain or improve the quality of groundwater. Louth County Council contracted the GSI to delineate source protection zones for nine groundwater public water supply sources in Co. Louth. The sources comprised Ardee, Cooley (Carlingford and Ardtully Beg), Collon, Termonfeckin, Omeath (Lislea Cross and Esmore Bridge), Drybridge and Killineer. This report documents the delineation of the Ardee source protection zones. A suite of maps and digital GIS layers accompany this report and the reports and maps are hosted on the GSI websites (www.gsi.ie).

Dundalk and Carlingford Presbyterian Church Records (Including Some Records for Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath)
Louth County Archives Service Dundalk and Carlingford Presbyterian Church Records (including some records for Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath) Collection Reference Code: PP00075/ Title: Dundalk and Carlingford Presbyterian Church Records (including some records for Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath) Dates: (1655-), 1831 – 1839, 1855 – 1949, 1956 - 1959, c.1991 Level of Description: Fonds Extent: 1 archival box containing 165 items Name of Creator(s): Dundalk, Carlingford, Castlebellingham, Jonesboro’, and Omeath Presbyterian Churches Admin/Biographical History: Dundalk is reputed to be the second place in Ireland in which a Presbyterian Church was formally constituted. In 1655 Henry Cromwell, commander of the army, brought with him to Ireland several Independent ministers who settled in the principal towns. One of these was a Joseph Bowesfield, the first non-Episcopal minister associated with Dundalk. It is thought that the first congregation was probably Independent at first before adopting the Presbyterian form. About 1700, the Rev John Wilson took charge of the joint congregations of Dundalk and Carlingford and in 1707 the Presbyterians in Dundalk sought and achieved separate congregational status. The founders of Presbyterianism in the Dundalk district were Malcolm and Archibald MacNeill, officers in the Williamite army. Malcolm MacNeill pressed the claims of Dundalk upon the General Synod. He built a church at Ballymascanlon, while a meeting house was built in Linenhall Street, Dundalk by Archibald MacNeill in about 1700 and continued in use until 1839 when it was replaced by the church in Jocelyn Street. In 1863 a school was added near the location of this church and this was followed in 1865 by the construction of a teacher’s residence. -
Roodstown Castle Video Script
Roodstown Castle Adèle Commins and Daithí Kearney Roodstown Castle is a prominent feature of the built heritage of Co. Louth. Its excellent state of preservation gives it added stature and it provides an excellent example of a tower house in Ireland. National records provide an interesting account of the change of name of the townland of Roodstown since 1301. Over the years the following variants of the name existed: Rotheston (1301), Routheston (1305), Rotheston (1582), Roothstowne (1635), Roothtowne (1655), Roothestowne (1658), Roods towne (1659), Rootstowne (1664), Roodestowne (1666), Roodstowne (1667), Roothstowne (1670), Roothtown (1685), Rootstown (1777), Roodstown (1836). At this time it was noted that Rooth was a family name.1 The 1837 Topographical Dictionary of Ireland noted that the townland contained 25 houses at the time with 148 inhabitants and described it as a village.2 This dictionary also suggested that the townland was called Rootstown or Ruthstown. In the Barony of Ardee and Civil Parish of Stabannan, the townland of Roodstown is surrounded by a number of other townlands including Gudderstown, Rock, Broadlough, Drumcashel, Philibenstown and Irishtown. Roodstown Castle is the most prominent structure today in the townland. The castle overlooks the N33 and the River Dee and is an imposing feature in the landscape visible today from a number of surrounding roads including the N52 and N33. Roodstown Castle is positioned on the roadside at a junction. To the right of the castle is Ardee and to the left of the castle is Stabannan. In days gone by this was the main road from Ardee to Castlebellingham. -

Geological history The imposing hills of the Cooley Peninsula, in the north-east of the county rise steeply above Dundalk Bay and overlook a more subdued landscape stretching across the rest of Co. Louth. The oldest rocks form a low range of hills just a few kilometres to the north-west of Drogheda, but they are poorly exposed. These Ordovician rocks, around 465 to 450 million years old, are dominated by volcanic lavas and ash falls erupted from volcanic islands and deposited on the ocean floor. Much of the low ground in the north of the county, between Dundalk and Ardee, is underlain by Silurian rocks, around 440 to 425 million years old. These were deposited on a deep ocean floor, where layers of slowly deposited dark mud were periodically interrupted by influxes of muddy sand avalanching down into the ocean basin from shallower water. Later, as the continental plates either side of this ocean moved together, these interbedded layers Louth: COUNTY GEOLOGY OF IRELAND 3 The deeply weathered Carboniferous limestone in Tullyallen Quarry contains pockets of clay which are believed to be perhaps thirty million years old. -

It was a simple square tower house; however, reflecting their prestige and position, the Bellews enlarged the Castle in 1650 with a six bay, three storey Queen Anne extension. -
