What is recorded here

Old Court rises in Strangford Lower as a post-medieval tower marked for protection, its stones still holding the shape of a building that once commanded attention. It may have served as a home, a watchpost or a seat of local authority, though the exact room and exact hand are no longer recorded. What remains is a tower named as a court, standing where human pride and ambition still press against the earth.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TOWER: OLD COURT. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
