A fact from Carra Castle, Antrim appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 June 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Carra Castle was once occupied by Shane O'Neill who held Sorley Boy McDonnell as a prisoner there in 1565, and the McDonnells later got their revenge by beheading O'Neill there?

The opening statement is wrong. I live near both the castle ruins and Murlough Bay, which is not the Cushendun harbour. The latter is in Cushendun itself, and Murlough Bay is around five miles further north along the coast toward Ballycastle. The two are undoubtedly separate, whatever may have been written by some author. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.210.179.34 (talk) 16:17, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
P.S. The harbour in Cushendun is a short walk from the ruins along the strand; maybe half a mile. I'd imagine that whatever harbour was near the castle during its use would have been there - not over the mountain or along the dangerous cliff-coastal route to Murlough, either of which would have taken three or four hours on a good day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.210.179.34 (talk) 16:23, 12 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
