Sweets in Dungannon: The Hill of The O'Neill, Market Days

Dungannon's history goes back to the O'Neill earls of Tyrone, whose chief residence stood on the hill that still overlooks the town centre today.

The Hill of The O'Neill, and Ranfurly House

The Hill of The O'Neill was the seat of Hugh O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone and the last of the Gaelic lords to hold out against English rule — one of the most significant sites in Irish history. Ranfurly House, a Victorian building at the foot of the hill, now serves as the gateway to it, with St Anne's Church of Ireland perched prominently above the town.

Markets since the 1580s

Dungannon has been a market town since charters were granted in 1581 by Elizabeth I and 1612 by James I — Tuesday markets originally for grain, Thursday for linen, yarn and livestock. Tyrone Crystal, founded in the town, carries on a local crystal-making tradition that traces back around 200 years.

Not the place for sweets in bulk

Linen, crystal and livestock built Dungannon's markets — not confectionery — so bulk bags, multipacks and trade cases for the town arrive by delivery, the same as the rest of the UK.
