Kilwaughter

Kilwaughter (Irish: Cill Uachtair)[1] is a small village in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, near the town of Larne.

It is in an electoral ward situated within the Mid and East Antrim Borough Council area.

[3] Located on the site of an older 17th-century tower,[4] the castle is situated in the hills, about 3 miles Southwest of Larne.

These soldiers were members of the American 644th Tank Destroyer Battalion and based here during preparations for the D-Day Landings.

[4] In addition to the still imposing castle, the landscape around Kilwaughter now finds itself marked by industry with a number of quarries operating in the local area.
