PLANTATION CASTLE (site of): CASTLE HILL (unlocated) in Ballynahatty — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Castle Hill in Ballynahatty, County Tyrone, held a Post-Medieval plantation castle now reduced to an unlocated archaeological ghost. The exact building has vanished from human memory, leaving behind a hidden mound or scattered stones that resist easy identification. Whatever room or yard once stood there has surrendered its shape to grass, rain and forgetting.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLANTATION CASTLE (site of): CASTLE HILL (unlocated). Recorded period: POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Built during the 17th century as part of the English Plantation of Ulster, the castle was likely held by a settler family involved in the colonial expansion. It is remembered as a symbol of the period's political and social transformation in Ireland.
