What is recorded here
Chevet Castle is an unlocated post-medieval tower house in Curran and Drumaliss, Larne, County Antrim. Its exact position is no longer known, but the name and region survive. The land may still hold a buried wall, a collapsed room or a vanished entrance. Forgetting the point does not erase the shape of what stood there.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TOWER-HOUSE: TCHEVET CASTLE (unlocated). Recorded period: POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Tchevet Castle was a post-medieval tower-house, likely built by a local Gaelic or Anglo-Irish landholding family in the 16th or 17th century. It is remembered as part of the defensive and territorial landscape of lowland Antrim during a period of political and cultural transition in Ulster.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
