What is recorded here
Castle Murray rose in Drummurry during the seventeenth century, wearing a bawn around its base like a stone collar. It has vanished from modern memory, leaving behind only a coordinate and a name. Perhaps its halls still hold breath, waiting for someone to remember the shape of their rooms.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17TH HOUSE & BAWN: CASTLE MURRAY (unlocated). Recorded period: C17TH. 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.
