Parkanaur House is a 19th-century Tudor Revival architecture house in the townland of Edenacrannon, County Tyrone. The Parkanaur land was granted by James I to Toby Caulfeild. It was sold Ynyr Burges in 1771. His descendent, John Ynyr Burges, commissioned Thomas Duff to design the present mansion, built between 1839 and 1854. The house is a two-storey building constructed from block rubble. It has a terraced front with octagonal pinnacles and gables at each projection of the façade, a big bay window and an upper oriel. It incorporates an earlier two storey building as an east wing. The grounds, which contain a rare herd of white fallow deer, were opened to the public as Parkanaur Forest Park in 1983. The house is within the council area of Mid Ulster.
