Olde Post Office, Dunmoyle
The Olde Post Office, Dunmoyle Cottage is the last remaining buliding of the Dunmoyle Estate.
Dunmoyle Castle or Dunmoyle Lodge as it was known as, was part of an upland demesne, near Sixmilecross in County Tyrone; the site now a forest owned by the Foresty Service Northern Ireland. The demesne, at one time prosperous though now forgotten, formerly had three gate houses, a church, post office, two labourers' cottages, a school and a teacher's residence.
