What is recorded here
Motte stands in Ballyclare, County Antrim, a medieval earthwork still scheduled for protection long after the hands that shaped it disappeared. It is not a building or a displayed hall, but a buried arrangement of soil and memory, waiting for rain, roots and patience to reveal how much life it touched.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 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.
