Dardistown Castle is a castle near Julianstown, in County Meath, Ireland.

During the Hundred Years' War, grants of £10 were issued to landowners in the Pale to construct fortified houses to aid in their defense in the army's absence. Dardistown Castle was built in 1465 by John Cornwalsh with his grant.[1]

In 1449, William Nugent was discharged 20 marks for not building a castle at Dardistown in Meath, and had his letters patent annulled. In in the 7th and 8th years of Edward IV's reign, the manor was freed from the charges.[2]

Henry Osborne (d.May 10, 1828)[3] of Dardistown Castle owned Cooperhill Brickworks and supplied red bricks to many of Drogheda's buildings, including Saint Joseph's Convent (1896), Dublin Road. Production ceased in 1920. Only the clay pits now remain.[4]
