What is recorded here

Castle Coole in County Fermanagh carries a buried fortification beneath an 18th century formal garden. The post-medieval and 17th century military earthworks still lie under the landscaped ground, waiting for patience rather than shovels. A scheduled site preserves both layers, allowing the garden to enjoy beauty while the older fortification keeps its secrets below.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFICATION(site of) & 18th century formal garden. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH; C18TH. 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.
