What is recorded here
Cross Castle stands in County Antrim, its name repeated like a chant until the stones sound certain. The official record offers no date, no builder, no final fate, only a castle and enclosure marked at the centre of a forgotten field. That vacancy is not a failure; it is an invitation to imagine the hands that cut the rock and the people who stopped coming home.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CASTLE & ENCLOSURE: CROSS CASTLE or CROSSHOUSE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
