What is recorded here

On S side of avenue leading up to Ballynahown Court 360m to W. In demesne land situated atop natural rock outcrop with good views in all direction. Depicted as a tree plantation and not as an antiquity on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Present remains consist of an area of trees covered in scrub and other vegetation making it impossible examine whether there is any archaeological monument at this location. According to the current owner of Ballynahown Court the medieval castle of Ballynahown (WM035-010----) was located in the centre of this tree plantation. However this plantation does not match the location of the castle as depicted on the 1656 Down Survey map of Kilcleagh Parish (NLI MS 723-4).
