Stewartstown Castle is a post-medieval settlement located in the civil parish of Cookstown, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The castle and its associated village represent planned settlement activity characteristic of the plantation period in Ulster, when English and Scottish settlers were granted lands and encouraged to establish fortified dwellings and organized communities. The site reflects the strategic reorganization of the landscape following the Flight of the Earls in 1607 and subsequent land grants to undertakers who were required to build defensible structures and foster colonization. Physical remains at the site include the castle structure itself alongside evidence of the village layout, demonstrating the integration of military architecture with civilian settlement planning typical of early seventeenth-century Ulster plantations.
