What is recorded here

Drumfane Motte stands in Ballygarvey, County Antrim, a medieval earthwork where a tall mound faced a wide courtyard before stone towers became common. It is scheduled as a historic site, meaning the land itself is still marked by that old choice of shape. A person may have climbed the mound at dawn, watched the valley fill with mist, and carried the day back into the courtyard.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOTTE AND BAILEY: DRUMFANE MOTTE. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

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