What is recorded here
Castle in Town Parks stands in Ballymoney, County Antrim, though no exact date or builder is recorded. Its uncertain age leaves the structure open to imagination, perhaps a boundary marker, a watchtower, or a domestic seat reduced to memory. The town has lived around it long enough to treat the castle as ordinary, yet its unclear origin keeps it strange.
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.
