Dubious[edit]

This needs a source:

the jail and courthouse were built in Desertmartin, the middle of the Barony of Loughinsholin, which then lay in neighbouring County Tyrone.

The current source is h2g2, which is user-generated.

The closest I can find is that there was a fort there in or after 1612:

George Carew in 1610:^{[aa 1]}

The Fort of Deserte Martyne, a place in Glenconkeyne, is thought fit for the King's service, and the service of travellers between Coleraine and all parts of Tyrone and Armagh, to be laid out with 300 acres for a fort. The London agents have agreed to the place and number of acres, but in regard that Deserte Martyne, on which the forte is to be erected, is the Bishop of Derry's land. We think fit that the Londoners should give him so much in exchange thereof of their own land, and we think it not amiss that the King should give £200 toward erecting the fort, the constable to pay the overplus, if any.

And in 1612 "the Privy Council sent word to Ireland that they had decided to build a new fort, at Desert Martin near Coleraine, and that Sir Francis Cooke was to be established there as Constable with a proper ward."^{[aa 2]}
