TOWER-HOUSE: AGHEEGHTER CASTLE (destroyed) in Aghavoory

TOWER-HOUSE: AGHEEGHTER CASTLE (destroyed)

What is recorded here

Agheeghter Castle stood in Aghavoory as a post-medieval tower-house before destruction removed its walls. The loss suggests a violent or gradual forgetting rather than a clean abandonment. What remains is the shape of the gap: a local landmark reduced to memory, waiting for someone to imagine the life that filled it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TOWER-HOUSE: AGHEEGHTER CASTLE (destroyed). Recorded period: 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.
