Markethill in County Armagh may not have the usual market we would expect but has a fine faux medieval castle in it's stead - or perhaps as well? Armagh is a county of many contrasts and with a rich and varied history so no doubt the history of this place will be interesting too?

L_IMP_0914 next door, seems to be a reverse-ish view. Condensed script titling, saying "SEAT OF EARL OF GOSFORD. Co. ARMAGH. 914. W.L." See - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000330156

Flickr is sometimes amazing! There are not many photos of Gosford Castle from this front aspect; here is one dated 2005 showing decay and fire damage, before recent restoration, via https://www.flickr.com/photos/stillburning/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/stillburning/28263473/

No market here, Markethill is just the name of the local village and townland. Has featured in Game of Thrones www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/northern-ireland/part... “Gosford Castle is a 19th-century country house situated in Gosford, a townland of Markethill, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It was built for Archibald Acheson, 2nd Earl of Gosford, and designed in the Norman revival style by London architect Thomas Hopper. It is a Grade A listed building, and is said to be Ulster's largest. The Earls of Gosford occupied the castle until 1921, and the estate was later purchased by the Ministry of Agriculture to form Gosford Forest Park. The building subsequently deteriorated and in 2006 was sold to a development company who converted the castle into private dwellings.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gosford_Castle
