What is recorded here

Mairi's grandfather drove crates to Castle Archdale while Rossmore watched shadows lift at dusk. The components store hid tools of war behind ordinary walls, waiting for orders that never came. Children later ran through empty rooms, imagining engines and danger in the quiet dark.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as WW2 components store (part of RAF Castle Archdale). Recorded period: C20TH. Recorded protection: Proposed for scheduling. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Built by the Royal Air Force as part of RAF Castle Archdale during World War II, the site served as a components store and supported Allied air operations in the region. It is remembered for its role in the strategic defense infrastructure of Northern Ireland during the war.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
