What is recorded here
Kilcross holds a platform rath, a raised earthen circle where people may have stood above the surrounding land to watch, trade or remember. The earth still shapes that purpose even when every wooden gate and roof has vanished.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH. 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.
