What is recorded here
Magherameenagh Castle stands in County Fermanagh as a post-medieval plantation mark, likely shaped during the seventeenth or eighteenth century. Its stones may have watched fields, herds and passing carts long before anyone wrote the name down. The castle still belongs to the land, even when the landscape has forgotten the hands that built it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLANTATION CASTLE: MAGHERAMEENAGH CASTLE. Recorded period: POST-MED; C18TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Built during the 18th century, Magherameenagh Castle is associated with the post-medieval plantation period in Northern Ireland. It is remembered as part of the broader historical context of colonial settlement and land use in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
