TOWER-HOUSE AND BAWN: NARROW WATER CASTLE in Narrow Water — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Narrow Water Castle is a late medieval tower-house and bawn in County Down, Ireland. It is a State Care site, not a ruined fantasy or a misnamed modern building. The official identity is clear even when the shape has faded from memory.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TOWER-HOUSE AND BAWN: NARROW WATER CASTLE. Recorded period: LATE-MED. Recorded protection: State Care. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Narrow Water Castle was built by the MacDonnell family, Gaelic lords of Antrim, in the late 16th century. It is remembered as a key stronghold in the Nine Years' War and was later held by the English during the early 17th century, making it historically significant in the context of Irish resistance and colonial conflict.
