What is recorded here

Shane's Castle in County Antrim has endured repeated destruction because people kept returning to build, remember and use the same dangerous shoreline. John Nash redesigned the old Plantation castle in 1809, fire reduced that version in 1816, a Victorian-Gothic castle appeared in the 1860s, and the IRA burned it in 1922. The ruins still stand beside Lough Neagh, marked by a small railway that ran through the grounds from 1971 to 1995 and by cameras that carried the stones into fictional kingdoms.
