What is recorded here
Marked as a T-shaped house (max. dims c. 15m NW-SE; c. 10m NE-SW) with a projection at the centre of the SW side and described as 'Bell Green' on the 1835 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Davies (1948a, 117) recorded ruins known locally as 'Bruncott's Castle' here and suggested that this may be the site of a plantation castle built by James Archibald, but a castle is not recorded on the Down Survey barony map (1656-8) at Boagh (30).
