What is recorded here
Cloughwater Road holds a blue plaque naming Sir Samuel McCaughey, 1835 to 1919, as the Sheep King who lived there. The ulster History Circle recorded the claim, but the absence of a visible house turns the fact into a trap. You can search the road with every tool available and still not find the chamber where that much wool and gold once waited.
