Farmland on Islandmagee. Islandmagee is a peninsula on the east coast of County Antrim, on the North Channel. The peninsula has its root a little north of Carrickfergus, and stretches northward along the coast for 7 miles as far as Larne, creating between itself and the mainland of Antrim a sea lough known as Larne Lough.
The peninsula is part of the parish of Islandmagee. The boundaries of the parish and the peninsula match. Like the rest of Ireland, this parish is split into a number of townlands, whose names are derived from the ancient Irish language. There are 25 townlands on Islandmagee but just two small villages.
