What is recorded here
Castle Voodish in Carravindoon, County Antrim, still hides man-made passages beneath the earth. The exact age remains uncertain, but the cut stones suggest human hands shaped the dark long before modern memory. Perhaps residents used the tunnels to escape storms, smuggle goods or simply avoid neighbours they disliked. The castle may have fallen, but the passages remain waiting for someone brave enough to follow the darkness downward.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE or CASHEL & Man-made underground passages (SITE OF): CASTLE VOODISH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; 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.
