What is recorded here
Crew, County Antrim, Ireland: two violent years, ten centuries apart, still warming the soil. 1003 and 1099, men bled into the same ground before maps existed to mark the wound. The field remembers what kingdoms forget.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE, 1003 AD & 1099 AD. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
