MOTTE in Droagh

MOTTE

What is recorded here

Droagh holds a medieval motte, scheduled and marked at its centre, where earth was shaped into a small hill of power. Men may have climbed it in darkness or watched the valley from its crest, turning ordinary ground into a boundary they could defend. The soil still carries that choice, waiting for footsteps to remember the shape of fear and pride that built it.
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.
