Description: The plinth is what remains of a more recent cross which was erected on the site to commemorate Sir Roger Casement who was tried and executed for treason, espionage and sabotage against the Crown. While waiting execution in Pentonville prison he sent a letter to his cousin Gertrude Bannister in which he wrote 'Take my body back with you and let it lie in the old churchyard in Murlough Bay'. Roger Casement was a frequent visitor to Ballycastle, he stayed with relatives there and found a close affinity to the beauty and wildness of the location.
