Harry Avery's Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harry Avery's Castle is situated half a mile south-west of Newtownstewart, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. On a hill, ruined Harry Avery's Castle, is a 14th century Gaelic stone castle - most unusual in Ulster. The castle consisted of a two-storey rectangular construction fronted by the massive D-shaped twin towers of the keep which remain. It was possibly built by Henry Aimbreidh O' Neil (Harry Avery O'Neill) (died 1392), and certainly named after him. The castle was captured by the English in 1609.
The Castle is a State Care Historic Monument in the townland of Upper or New Deer Park, in Strabane District Council area, at grid ref: H3915 8527.[1]
