What is recorded here

Oldstone Hill may have worn a castle during the eighteenth or nineteenth century, though no ruin remains visible to test that claim. The name itself admits the doubt, casting a shadow over a hill that may never have held a single stone tower. People walked past it in County Antrim, perhaps seeing only grass and sky where a fortress should have stood.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE?: OLDSTONE HILL (unlocated). Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH. 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.
