What is recorded here

Castle Robin stands in Mullaghglass, County Antrim, where a medieval motte and bailey still shadow the ground beside a seventeenth-century fortified house. The older earthwork suggests repeated occupancy across centuries, while the later house reflects changing threats and tastes. Together they mark a place where defence remained necessary long after the first castle rose.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17th FORTIFIED HOUSE built near MOTTE & BAILEY: CASTLE ROBIN. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; POST-MED. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
