Tho ruins occupy the entire summit of a rock which rises 100 feet out of tho sea, perfectly per- pendicular on all its sides, and about 20 feet from the mainland, with which it is connected by an arch or wall about 14 inches in width. At the base of the cliff, on which the ruins of the castle stand, is a natural cave of considerable extent, open to the sea and at the land side. It consists of an arched apartment, tin walls and roof of which are rude basalt. Ontli t he castle is a gap in the battlements, caused by the falling of a piece of rook which supported the masonry, during a severe storm in 1639, when nine persons went down with tho ruins into the raging surge below. On the E. side is a small chamber, called the Banshee's Tower, said to be the abode of Maw Roe, a fairy, who sweeps the room daily. This castle belonged to the Mac Quillans in the loth century, from whom it came to the Mac Donalds. In 1585 S Boy, lord of Dunlucc, surrendered the castle to the Lord Deputy. In 1642 General Munroe seized this place from its owner, the Earl of Antrim. Dunlucu gives title of viscount to the Earl of Antrim.
