What is recorded here
Antrim still keeps a medieval motte inside Town Parks, proving that human hands shaped the land before written memory began. The mound may have supported a tower, a watch post or a boundary marker, yet its exact purpose has faded. It remains scheduled and visible, forcing modern walkers to share space with a forgotten medieval world.
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.
