Located in the Short Strand area in the townland of Ballymacarret. The name Short Strand was applied to this area after the construction of the Long Bridge in 1682, which divided the eastern bank of the Lagan (John J Marshall, Belfast Telegraph, 14/02/1941). Equally, the name Long Strand was applied to the area on the seaward side of the bridge, but the latter name has fallen out of use.
