THE SITE OF HARRY AVERY’S CASTLE, NEWTOWNSTEWART WHERE THE A5WTC WOULD PASS WITHIN 50METRES
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.
