 According to "The New Ireland Review", April 1908, legend holds that when the head of the family is in his final hours, the foxes of County Meath, except for nursing vixens, emerge from their earths and make their way to the door of Gormanston Castle to keep vigil until he has died, in thanksgiving for the deliverance and protection from marauding predators of a vixen and her young by a previous Lord Gormanston.Gormanston Camp is currently home to B Company, 27 Infantry Battalion, of the Irish Army, and is a former aerodrome of the Irish Air Corps.Gormanston is near the M1 Dublin–Belfast motorway and on the R132 regional road.
