Questions about Ross Castle

Is Ross Castle on the National Inventory?

It is a national monument on the Sites and Monuments Record (KE066-074001-), cared for by the State.

Can you visit Ross Castle?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

Is Ross Castle protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
