MOTTE: DUNISLAND FORT or MOAT in Altilevelly

MOTTE: DUNISLAND FORT or MOAT

What is recorded here

Dunisland Fort rises in Altilevelly as a medieval motte, its earthworks still marked though time has softened every edge. The land may have worn the fortress into a mystery, yet the shape remains clear enough to prove that people once built height and defence there.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOTTE: DUNISLAND FORT or MOAT. 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.
