TOWER-HOUSE: QUOILE CASTLE in Quoile — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Quoile Castle stood as a sixteen-century tower-house in County Down, its stones guarding local memory before ruin claimed much of its shape. People may have lived inside its narrow rooms, watched the land from above, or fled when danger came. What remains is not a complete palace but a buried anchor, preserving the courage and fear of those who first built against the sky.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TOWER-HOUSE: QUOILE CASTLE. Recorded period: C16TH; LATE-MED. Recorded protection: State Care and Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
