What is recorded here
Moses Hill's house in Malone Lower still carries the shape of a fortified dwelling, though no wall or gate remains visible to mark the boundary. The post-medieval setting suggests a family bold enough to build defensiveness into domestic life, perhaps watching roads or resisting neighbours. Whatever the house defended, it did so without leaving a ruin proud enough for tourists.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFIED HOUSE & ?BAWN (unlocated): MOSES HILL'S HOUSE. Recorded period: POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Moses Hill's House in Malone Lower was a fortified house built in the post-medieval period, likely by a local landowner for defensive purposes. It is remembered as an example of early domestic architecture in the Malone area, reflecting the settlement patterns and security needs of the time.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
