What is recorded here
McCartan's castle vanished before records arrived, leaving only a name and a boundary in Magheratimpany. Perhaps it stood as a stone ring, perhaps a timber knot, but human hands shaped that land for defence or display. The absence does not erase the purpose; it withholds the picture.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FORTIFICATION: McCARTAN'S 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.
