What is recorded here
Aughentaine castle stood as a seventeenth-century fortified house and bawn in County Tyrone, its stones built to keep out trouble and hold a family through POST-MED storms. The name shifts between Aughentaine and Aghintain, but the shape remains clear: a defended home where life continued under threat. Its scheduled status preserves the outline of that resilience, leaving the chamber fires and kitchen smells to imagination.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17th FORTIFIED HOUSE & BAWN: AUGHENTAINE or AGHINTAIN CASTLE. Recorded period: POST-MED. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
