What is recorded here

Castle in Oldgrange is a ringwork where two low banks of earth and stone still surround a raised circular area facing the Atlantic. Its east-northeast entrance keeps a narrow stone-lined break and a disturbed causeway, while good pasture now covers much of the inner ground. The shape suggests a small defended house, possibly with a building inside, though time and traffic have blurred that life.

Situated in good pasture on a N-facing slope overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Raised circular area (diam. 25.5m) enclosed by two low banks of earth and stone with shallow intermediate fosse. Both faces of the outer bank are faced with stone, some of which are quite large. Both banks have been levelled from NW-N-NE. The original entrance is almost certainly at ENE where there is a stone-lined break in the outer bank (Wth. 1.1m) with a much disturbed causeway across the fosse and a corresponding break in the inner bank. There are other causeway type features present immediately S of the entrance and at NE. There is a possible house site within the interior (SL011-009002-). Compiled by: Patrick F.
