What is recorded here
Question marks and colons clutter the official name, yet the land holds a clear ridge where McQuillan's castle stood. The boundary between history and myth blunts on that slope, inviting imagination to fill the gaps left by forgotten time.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - CASHEL?: MCQUILLAN'S 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.
