What is recorded here
Plantation castles in Strabane during the seventeenth century belonged to the post-medieval transformation of County Tyrone, yet this particular structure remains unlocated. The official record points only to a central coordinate on an archaeological site, withholding the exact stones or ditch that once marked human ambition. Whatever castle existed there has vanished from local memory, leaving behind a ghost coordinate rather than a visible ruin.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLANTATION CASTLE (unlocated). Recorded period: C17TH; 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.
