Place & story
A small townland return
Castlejordan townland had thirty-eight inhabitants in 1911, twenty-one male and seventeen female. Nine of its eleven houses were inhabited and two were empty. The original table places it in Castlejordan parish and electoral division, Moyfenrath Upper barony and Edenderry Union. Its recorded area was 549 acres and two perches. The electoral division as a whole contained 430 people, so that larger figure should not be taken as the townland’s population. [2]
