Shane's Castle ruins

Shane's Castle is a ruined castle near Antrim in Northern Ireland, which was mostly destroyed in 1816 by fire. The castle is situated on the north-east shores of Lough Neagh, 2.7 miles from Randalstown. Built in 1345 by a member of the Clandeboy O'Neill dynasty, it was originally known as Edenduffca

rrick, meaning "brow of black rock" (from the Irish éadán dúcharraige). It owes its present name to Shane McBrian McPhelim O'Neill, who ruled Lower Clandeboy between 1595 and 1617.
