CASTLE SITE (MOUND & FOUNDATION): PIGEON HILL in Croshballinree

CASTLE SITE (MOUND & FOUNDATION): PIGEON HILL

What is recorded here

Pigeon Hill in Croshballinree still carries a castle mound and foundation, though no human hand has shaped its edge in centuries. The land itself built the castle, lifting stone and soil into a chamber where rain writes and wind erases. It is not a ruin waiting to be completed. It is a living shape that uses people as temporary tools, and it has already outlasted every name they gave it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE SITE (MOUND & FOUNDATION): PIGEON HILL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
