The small castle in the county of Antrim, Northern Ireland, stretches out to the sea on a long, narrow limestone corner, about 5 km from Balikasle to Baringtoi. The name Kinbane means “white head,” which refers to the white limestone standing on the small castle. Konrad MacDonald (Colla MacDonnell) built a two-story small castle here in 1547 with a large courtyard with a trace of other architecture. In 1551, during a military expedition to MacDonald, the castle was surrounded by British troops. In 1555, the British army again besieged the castle, which was partially destroyed by artillery, and then rebuilt, but only a few hundred years later with a slight architectural disability.
