What is recorded here

Naan Island West carries a castle label although no wall, room or builder has emerged to support it. The name floats above the island like a shadow detached from its owner. Perhaps a fortress stood there before memory collapsed, or perhaps someone mistook a mound for a castle and repeated the error until it became fact. Either way, the island keeps a building that may never have existed, forcing every visitor to invent the room before entering it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

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