What is recorded here
Harry Avery's Castle stands in Upper Deerpark, County Tyrone, a medieval ruin preserved under State Care. Avery may have built it as a private fortress or a generous gift, but the stones survived every claim made upon them. The castle still belongs to the region because it refused to disappear when men and borders changed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE & BAILEY: HARRY AVERY'S CASTLE. Recorded period: MED/L.MED. Recorded protection: State Care. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Harry Avery's Castle is a medieval castle and bailey located in Upper or New Deerpark, though its builder remains unidentified. It is remembered for its historical significance as a defended structure from the medieval period, now preserved under state care.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
