What is recorded here
Fortified House in Loughry stood in County Tyrone during the seventeenth century, a post-medieval structure built to keep out trouble. Stone walls and narrow openings turned a ordinary dwelling into a small fortress, forcing visitors to announce themselves before entering. The house likely belonged to someone who expected danger, perhaps a family that lost friends or faced raids. Its bones still mark the ground, waiting for a person brave enough to imagine the fear and pride that filled its rooms.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFIED HOUSE. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. 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.
