Artikelly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Artikelly is a small village in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, 1 km north east of Limavady and adjoining the major industrial area at Aghanloo. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 360 people. It lies within the Limavady Borough Council area.
The proximity of the village to the recently completed Limavady by-pass has improved accessibility not only to Limavady town, but also to Derry and Coleraine. Artikelly is the largest hamlet in the Limavady Borough Council area, but it has a limited range of retail and recreational facilities. It consists of a number of housing clusters along Dowland Road with most of the development on its northern side. It is dominated by the Lilac Avenue public authority housing estate.
[edit] History
In the Plantation of Ulster the Haberdashers' Company were granted an estate of 36.1 square miles. They made their ‘capital’ at Ballycastle or Ballycaslan, near Aghanloo, and a second settlement at Artikelly.
