Castledockrell (Irish: Caisleán Dochraill) is a village in Co. Wexford, Ireland, between the towns of Bunclody and Enniscorthy, off the N80 road.

The place name suggests a historical castle, yet the remains of a scattered wall near the centre of the village is the only potential clue to this.[1]

As of the 2022 census, the population of the rural area of Castledockrell was 502.[2]

Amenities

[edit]

In the centre of the village is All Saints' Catholic Church, first built in 1840, and renovated in 1978 to '79.[3] Alongside this is a local community hall. The village has one primary school, Castledockrell N.S.

Completed in 2011, Castledockrell wind farm is comprised of 18 turbines. A scenic walking route along the turbines is open to the public.
