CASTLE: CASTLE BALFOUR in Castle Balfour Demesne — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Castle Balfour rose in County Fermanagh during the post-medieval and seventeenth centuries, serving as a fortified anchor for local power before falling into ruin. Its stones still mark the demesne, preserving the shape of a residence that once commanded respect and perhaps fear. The castle no longer stands complete, but its boundary remains clear enough to imagine the halls, guards and daily life that filled the space.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE: CASTLE BALFOUR. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. Recorded protection: State Care. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Built in the 17th century, Castle Balfour was held by the Balfour family, after whom it is named. It is remembered as a historic structure now in State Care, reflecting its archaeological and architectural significance in Northern Ireland.
