HistoryThe site was acquired from Clotworthy Skeffington, 11th Viscount Massereene for a shooting range in 1893.[1] In 1942, during the Second World War, the Admiralty commissioned a torpedo factory there such that Mark 8 torpedoes could be manufactured in the factory and then tested on Lough Neagh.[2] After the War the site became the Royal Naval Armaments Depot Antrim.[3] 33 Independent Field Squadron Royal Engineers arrived at the barracks in July 1974[4] and, after 33 Independent Field Squadron was absorbed into 25 Regiment Royal Engineers, that regiment took over the barracks in 1992.[5] The site was subsequently handed over to the Royal Marines and, from 1993, it was used as a base for the Royal Marine vessels Grey Wolf and Grey Fox which were deployed in counter terrorism and police operations on Lough Neagh and inshore waterways in Northern Ireland;[6] the barracks were the subject of considerable further development in 1998.[7] The site then passed to the British Army and became the home of 38 Engineer Regiment in July 2008.[8] On 7 March 2009, two off-duty British soldiers of 38 Engineer Regiment were shot dead outside the barracks.[9][10] Two other soldiers and two civilian delivery men were also shot and wounded during the attack. An Irish republican paramilitary group, the Real IRA, claimed responsibility.[11][12] After 38 Engineer Regiment moved to RAF Aldergrove in 2010,[13] the barracks were demolished and the site sold to Randox Laboratories in December 2013 for use as a science park.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1893/mar/17/shooting-range-on-the-massereene-estate#S4V0010P0_18930317_HOC_72|title=Shooting range on the Massereene Estate|publisher=Hansard|date=17 March 1893|accessdate=15 April 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.downmemorylane.me.uk/Antrim%20T2.htm|title=Antrim|publisher=Down Memory Lane|accessdate=15 April 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ww2ni.com/countyantrimpart1.htm|title=Torpedo Production and Test Facility, Antrim|publisher=The Second World War in Northern Ireland|accessdate=15 April 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://british-army-units1945on.co.uk/royal-engineers/squadrons/33-squadron.html|title=33 Squadron|publisher=British Army units 1945 on|accessdate=3 August 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://british-army-units1945on.co.uk/royal-engineers/regiments---major-units/25-regiment---2-div-regt.html|title=25 Regiment - 2 Division Regiment|publisher=British Army units 1945 on|accessdate=3 August 2017}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.panorama.gi/localnews/headlines.php?action=view_article&article=12607|title=Are Royal Navy's aging Gibraltar assets fit for purpose?|publisher=Panorama|date=17 November 2014|accessdate=15 April 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm199798/cmhansrd/vo981103/text/81103w02.htm|title=British Forces (Northern Ireland)|publisher=Hansard|date=3 November 1998|accessdate=15 April 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://british-army-units1945on.co.uk/royal-engineers/regiments---major-units/38-regiment.html|title=38 Engineer Regiment|publisher=British Army units 1945 on|accessdate=15 April 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web |title=Two soldiers shot dead in attack on Antrim barracks |work=The Irish Times |date=8 March 2009|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0308/breaking2.htm |accessdate=2009-03-08}} 10. ^{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/7931260.stm|title= How the barracks attack unfolded|date=8 March 2009|publisher=BBC News|accessdate=2009-03-08| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20090309172320/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/7931260.stm| archivedate= 9 March 2009 | deadurl= no}} 11. ^{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7930837.stm |title=Two die in 'barbaric' Army attack |publisher=BBC News |date=8 March 2009|accessdate=28 March 2010}} 12. ^{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7930995.stm |title='Real IRA was behind army attack |publisher=BBC News |date=8 March 2009|accessdate=28 March 2010}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/massereene-army-barracks-sold-off-29861724.html|title=Massereene army barracks sold off|publisher=Belfast Telegraph|date=23 December 2013|accessdate=15 April 2017}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/randox-science-park-hosts-secretary-of-state|title=Randox Science Park hosts Secretary of State|publisher=Ministry of Defence|date=21 November 2016|accessdate=15 April 2017}} 3 : Barracks in Northern Ireland|Installations of the British Army|Royal Marines bases |
