What is recorded here
Castle Lug rises in County Antrim as a medieval tower-house, its stones still carrying the weight of late-medieval conflict. The structure stands under State Care and Scheduled protection, preserving a bold defensive line drawn across the West Division. It is not a quiet ruin but a sharp instrument of local power, built to watch, resist and endure.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TOWER-HOUSE: CASTLE LUG or CLOGH-NA-LARTY. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; LATE-MED. Recorded protection: State Care and Scheduled. 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.
