Plantation Castle is a post-medieval fortification located in Strabane, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Dating to the early seventeenth century during the Ulster Plantation period, the structure reflects the military and defensive concerns of English and Scottish settlers establishing control in the region following the Flight of the Earls in 1607. The fortification's physical form and construction methods are characteristic of early modern Irish defensive architecture, adapted to protect against local resistance and inter-settler disputes. As a monument from the plantation era, it represents the material culture of colonial settlement and the strategic infrastructure required to secure newly planted territories in post-conquest Ulster.
