What is recorded here
Castle Bane appears as a rectangular cropmark in County Antrim, possibly marking a lost castle or a smaller medieval structure. The boundary may have cut through living fields rather than a finished fortress, suggesting people still worked the land after its main purpose faded. Rain, soil and time have erased the walls, leaving only a faint geometric shadow in the grass for others to argue about.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RECTANGULAR CROPMARK - CASTLE?: CASTLE BANE. Recorded period: MED/L.MED; 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.
