What is recorded here
Doonfin may hide an unrecorded castle, but no visible structure or certain location survives. The name floats above County Antrim like a rumor, neither confirmed nor dismissed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE? Unlocated. 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.
