What is recorded here

Antrim Castle rose in the seventeenth century as a scheduled post-medieval fortress, its stones still marked by the coordinates of power and resistance. The castle dominated the local landscape, forcing every resident to acknowledge the reach of the men who owned it. Its walls did not merely exclude; they declared that the land had been taken and reshaped under a new flag.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17th CASTLE: ANTRIM CASTLE. Recorded period: POST-MED; C17TH. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Antrim Castle was built in the 17th century and served as a significant administrative and defensive structure in County Antrim. It is remembered for its historical role in the region's political and social landscape during the post-medieval period.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
