Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has unveiled a plaque in honour of the so-called ‘Witches of Islandmagee.’ The nine individuals were convicted of witchcraft more than 300 years ago in what is believed to be the last witch trial to occur on the island of Ireland. The plaque was officially unveiled at the Gobbins Visitor Centre in Islandmagee, by the Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Alderman Noel Williams. The commemorative plaque serves as a reminder of this unique piece of history to those visiting the area who may not be aware of the story. The installation of the plaque comes ahead of a special exhibition, set to launch in September, which has been organised by Carrickfergus Museum in conjunction with Ulster University. The exhibition will feature a range of interpretative applications, art installations, graphic interpretative panels, and a range of objects from museum collections. The story of the ‘Witches of Islandmagee’ is still very much in the minds of local people, and relatives of those convicted still live in the area today.
