In a post-battle French raid, roughly 600 troops seized Carrickfergus and held it for five days. Militia and regular forces began concentrating in numbers the raiders could not resist, forcing them to evacuate. At sea, three Royal Navy frigates under John Elliot intercepted the French privateer's force, killed or wounded about 300 men, and captured the survivors. Limited amphibious raids remained possible after Quiberon Bay, but Britain could combine local mobilization with naval interception to contain them.

The Carrickfergus raid after Quiberon Bay
France still attempted a small landing in Ireland, but local mobilization and a Royal Navy frigate action destroyed the raiding force's escape.
