What is recorded here
Motte in Crosshill stands as a medieval scheduled monument in County Antrim, preserving the earthwork where power once concentrated. Its mound still rises above the landscape, marking a time when local authority needed a visible anchor. The site belongs to everyone now, protected from erasure or forgetting.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOTTE. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
