Atiscross
Atiscross or Ati's Cross was one of the original twelve Hundreds of Cheshire bordering the Welsh Kingdom of Gwynedd to the west. It appears in the Domesday Book in 1066 under the control of Earl Edwin. There were 87 settlements within the Hundred, several of the largest and most valuable included:
- Dodleston - 25 households, £2, woodland
- Claverton - 21 households, £2, meadow, 1 salthouse.
- Hawarden - 14 households - £3, meadow, 1 church, woodland.
- Broughton - 10 households - £1.5, ploughland.
- Aston - 7 households, £1, ploughland.
- Wepre - 6 households, £1, ploughland, woodland.
Atiscross later became a principal part of Flintshire during the reign of Edward I.
Early Ordnance Survey maps show the "Supposed site" of Ati's Cross a little inland from Pentre Ffwrndan, adjacent to Croes-Ati Mill, at SJ 252730. Croes Ati Lane at the edge of Flint town leads to it.
