Artikelly
Encyclopedia : A : AR : ART : Artikelly
Artikelly is a small village in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, 1 km north east of Limavady and adjoining the major industrial area at Aghanloo. In the 2001 Census it had a population of 360 people. It lies within the Limavady Borough Council area.
The proximity of the village to the recently completed Limavady by-pass has improved accessibility not only to Limavady town, but also to Derry and Coleraine. Artikelly is the largest hamlet in the Limavady Borough Council area, but it has a limited range of retail and recreational facilities. It consists of a number of housing clusters along Dowland Road with most of the development on its northern side. It is dominated by the Lilac Avenue public authority housing estate.
History
In the Plantation of Ulster the Haberdashers' Company were granted an estate of 36.1 square miles. They made their ‘capital’ at Ballycastle or Ballycaslan, near Aghanloo, and a second settlement at Artikelly.
