What is recorded here

The castle of Loghill was 'wasted' in 1302 war, but castle of that name existed in late16th/early 17th century (Westropp 1906-7, 240). Mid-17th century Down Survey map shows castle on E side of Loghill inlet, approximately in position of Loghill House. According to Lewis (1837, ) castle was 'taken down by the late Mr Hewson, who built a garden wall with the material'; Hewson lived in Ouvane Cottage, later Loghill House. This house and its walled garden have recently been demolished. Only trace of any structure associated with house is short stretch of walling (L c. 5m; H 2m; Wth 0.5m) along shoreline; this unlikely to be associated with castle.
