TOWER-HOUSE: TANDRAGEE CASTLE, TONREGUE in Tanderagee — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Tanderagee Castle stands in County Armagh as a post-medieval tower house, its exact building date still uncertain but its shape clear enough to mark human ambition on open land. The structure likely served a local family as both home and warning, its height turning ordinary sky into a boundary they controlled. Whether it resisted invasion or simply watched rainfall cross the fields, the castle remains a vertical answer to flat terrain.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TOWER-HOUSE: TANDRAGEE CASTLE, TONREGUE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; POST-MED; LATE-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Tandragee Castle, also known as Tonreague Tower-House, was built in the late medieval period, likely by a local Gaelic or Anglo-Norman lord.
