BAWN & TOWER HOUSE: AGHADOWEY CASTLE in Aghadowey

BAWN & TOWER HOUSE: AGHADOWEY CASTLE

What is recorded here

Aghadowey Castle rose as a bawn and tower house in County Derry, though no exact date survives for its completion. Its stones marked a boundary between private power and open landscape, perhaps guarding a family, a road or a coast path now forgotten. The uncertainty does not weaken the place; it preserves the shape of human ambition that built before record-keepers arrived.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BAWN & TOWER HOUSE: AGHADOWEY CASTLE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
