What is recorded here
Castle grounds in Ballycarry: unclear when built, still scheduled, still ours to imagine. A tower may have risen there, watching carsels and coast roads before memory. Stone is gone or buried, but the shape of power remains. When you walk past, you are still inside its reach.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE (SITE OF). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
