CARRICKFERGUS CASTLE in Carrickfergus — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

CARRICKFERGUS CASTLE still stands in Carrickfergus, a medieval fortress shaped by later centuries and preserved under State Care. Its stones have watched the coast through every recorded period, surviving storms, wars and the slow patience of time. The castle does not need a legend because it is one, built by human hands and sharpened by history into a marker of endurance.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CARRICKFERGUS CASTLE. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; LATE-MED; POST-MED; MODERN. Recorded protection: State Care with Proposed Scheduled Area. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Carrickfergus Castle was built by John de Courci in the late 12th century and later held by the English crown. It is important as the largest and best-preserved medieval castle in Northern Ireland and a key site in the Anglo-Norman conquest of Ireland.
