Harry Avery's Castle, Medieval fortress in Newtownstewart, Northern Ireland
The castle features two prominent D-shaped twin towers attached to a rectangular structure, positioned strategically on an artificially heightened hill.
Built before 1392, this stone fortress belonged to Henry Aimhreidh O'Neill, a Gaelic Irish chief who controlled the territory of County Tyrone.
The Annals of the Four Masters document Henry O'Neill's death in 1392, recognizing his contributions to justice and nobility in medieval Ireland.
The castle remains are accessible every day without entrance fees, though visitors should note the absence of dedicated parking facilities.
This fortress represents one of the few stone castles constructed by Gaelic Irish chiefs, incorporating Norman architectural elements from Carrickfergus Castle.
