MenuShane's Castle, Antrim
Shane's Castle is a ruined castle, located on the shores of Lough Neagh in the townland of Shane's Castle Park, County Antrim. These are the ruins of the ancestral residence of the O'Neills of Shane's Castle, built in stages, with no certainty about the precise year that any portion can be dated to, but possibly incorporating a late 15th or 16th century core, extended in the 17th century, and greatly enlarged during the course of the 18th century to achieve its penultimate form as a large castellated country house, before being reduced to ruins in a fire in 1816. The ruins enjoy an unspoiled setting within a well wooded demesne overlooking Lough Neagh. It is within the council area of Antrim and Newtownabbey.
