What is recorded here
Kilroot, County Antrim. Battle site dated 1199. Medieval period. The ground remembers violence before written praise. Men bled into Antrim soil while distant courts argued names. That much is set. The rest belongs to imagination, not fact.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE, 1199. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; C12TH. 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.
