Monea Castle was built about 1618 by Malcolm Hamilton and had a bawn built later, in 1622. It was captured in the Irish Rebellion of 1641 by Rory Maguire but refurbished and used again by the Scottish and English planters. In 1688 it was the home of the Governor of Enniskillen. It remained in use until gutted by fire in the middle of the 18th century.
