What is recorded here
That is an unlocated castle and settlement site in County Derry, recorded for the late medieval period. The official point sits at the centre of the archaeological area rather than a visible building, so the castle may be hidden beneath soil, memory or mistake. Glebe gives the place life only through absence: a residence, a defence and a domestic world are implied, but none of them can be pointed at.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE & SETTLEMENT SITE (unlocated). Recorded period: LATE-MED; MED/L.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.
