What is recorded here
Castle or fortified house in Ballyclogh, County Antrim, perhaps a tower room, a courtyard or a strong hall, though no exact date or owner is known. The uncertainty itself belongs to the place: a residence built to be seen, defended or remembered, now reduced to a point on a map. Someone may have stood at its window during rain, watched the land turn white and known the building would outlast every name spoken inside it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE/FORTIFIED HOUSE (O.S. memoir site: 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.
