Bonamargy Friary
The ruin of a Franciscan friary, just east of Ballycastle (A2), founded by Rory McQuillan about 1500 and used until the mid-seventeenth century. The vault contains the coffins of several McDonnell Chiefs. A small disc headed cross marks the grave of Julia McQuillan the 'Black Nun' who was a recluse here in the seventeenth century.
