Castlederg castle is a post-medieval fortified house with bawn located near Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The structure dates from the early modern period and represents the fortification strategies employed by English and Old English settlers during the Ulster plantation era. The site comprises a defended domestic residence surrounded by a bawn wall, a characteristic architectural arrangement of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries designed to provide security against hostile incursion in the unsettled frontier regions of Ulster. Such fortified enclosures were typical of Anglo-Norman and settler colonisation in Ireland during this period of significant territorial reorganisation and plantation.
