This is an early 17thC tower house built by Sir Moyses Hill, a landless adventurer, whose family - the Downshires - were to become one of Ulster's largest landowners. The castle and its surrounds are in private ownership and there is no public access from the public highway (Chester Avenue) from where this image was taken.
