What is recorded here
Motte in Rorys Glen is a scheduled medieval earthwork in County Antrim, Ireland. A tall mound of soil and stone still stands where people once built height, visibility and defense. The glen may have given the structure its name, or the structure may have given the glen its identity. Either way, the land remembers the shape of human ambition.
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.
