What is recorded here
Fortified House and Castle in Ballindreen Scotch stands in County Derry, Ireland. Its period remains uncertain, but the name still carries the weight of walls built to keep danger at a distance. Perhaps it guarded a valley road, a family line or a small claim to power. The stones may be gone, yet the function remains visible in the shape of the land and the seriousness of its position.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFIED HOUSE & CASTLE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
