What is recorded here
Castleboy tower house still stands in County Down, a fifteenth-century stone box scheduled for protection and recorded at the centre of its own archaeological footprint. It is the kind of place where height becomes ownership: a family or faction pulling the sky closer while the land waited below. There is no warmth in that design, only warning.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TOWER-HOUSE: CASTLEBOY. Recorded period: C15TH. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
