What is recorded here
Newcastle Harbour in Ballaghbeg, County Down, is a scheduled C19TH harbour where the official map still marks its centre. The sea may have taken most of its wooden bones, but the harbour name remains, waiting for the tide to reveal what it swallowed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HARBOUR: NEWCASTLE HARBOUR. Recorded period: C19TH. 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.
