What is recorded here

O'NEILL CASTLE stood in Omagh during the LATE-MED period, marking the area as a place of local power and memory. Its stones may have watched markets, feasts, fights and quiet prayers, while people came and went under changing skies. What is certain is that the land still carries the shape of that castle and the lives it touched.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE: O'NEILL CASTLE. Recorded period: LATE-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

O'Neill Castle in Omagh was built by the O'Neill dynasty, the prominent Gaelic Irish clan of the Clandeboy branch, during the late medieval period. It is remembered as a symbol of the O'Neills' regional power and their resistance to English authority in Ulster.
