What is recorded here
Kilwaughter Castle stands as a post-medieval tower-house and bawn in County Antrim, its stones marked for protection though much of its history has faded. The structure likely served as a defensive residence for a local family, its thick walls designed to withstand raids and harsh weather. Without clear records of its builders or occupants, the castle remains a silent witness to forgotten lives, its purpose reduced to speculation and atmosphere.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TOWER-HOUSE & BAWN: KILWAUGHTER CASTLE. Recorded period: POST-MED. Recorded protection: Listed. 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.
