Castle, unclassified

What is recorded here

Ballinderry Castle vanished before modern mapping began, leaving only a faint mark on the 1654-9 Down Survey map of Killmonaghan and Kilcumreragh parish. The precise location remains unknown, but the castle likely stood where water, stone and human ambition crossed. Its absence is not emptiness; it is a lock waiting for the right hand.
The precise location of Ballinderry Castle has not been identified. The castle is depicted on the 1654-9 Down Survey map of Killmonaghan and Kilcumreragh parish (NLI, MS 723-4). The castle is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 12 October 2016
