What is recorded here
In the red clay of Tyrone, a house and bawn still mark the Ravella estate, carrying the shape of post-medieval and seventeenth-century building into the present field. The castle name suggests a defensive memory, yet the surviving form is domestic, a residence shaped by the land and the people who kept it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAVELLA CASTLE:HOUSE AND BAWN. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Ravella Castle: House and Bawn was likely built in the 17th century, during the post-medieval period, by a local landholding family in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is remembered as an example of early settler architecture and land use in Ulster following the Plantation of Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
