What is recorded here

Castlederg, Derg Bridge, Castle-Derrick and Churchtown all point to one busy settlement in County Tyrone where people lived, traded and prayed from the medieval period through the seventeenth century. The changing names suggest a bridge, a fortress and a church kept appearing in local memory until they became a single identity.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HISTORIC SETTLEMENT: CASTLEDERG, DERG BRIDGE, CASTLE-DERRICK or CHURCHTOWN. Recorded period: C17TH; E.CHRIST.; MEDIEVAL; LATE-MED; POST-MED. 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.
