What is recorded here
Court Hill rises in Mullynure as a medieval church, house and enclosure, perhaps a bishop’s palace tied to Mullinure Abbey. Stone edges and buried floors may still mark where clergy dined, prayed or commanded the surrounding land. The hill does not need a grand facade to prove its rank; it keeps the shape of power in its own body.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH, HOUSE & ENCLOSURE: COURT HILL, BISHOP'S COURT or PALACE, MULLINURE ABBEY. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. 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.
