Raw Castle

This is all that remains of a 3 storied fortified house in cruciform shape and built within a square entrenchment c. 1618. The ruins comprise a semi-basement and 2 upper floors. Only the N wall of the W wing now stands to approx. original height, the rest of the walling (where it survives at all) being largely reduced to foundations. The walls are of Carrickfergus limestone rubble with a ground floor plinth, projecting 10-15 cms. A window, c. 1.56m wide internally occupies the centre of the N wall.
