What is recorded here

Motte and possible Bailey in Mill Loughan stands in County Derry, Ireland, preserving a medieval landscape where a raised earthwork and faint boundary still mark the edge of human memory. The ground may have shaken under horse hooves, servant boots or the bare feet of children running from rain. A tower, hall or simple watchroom may have risen above the mound, watching the valley for danger or delight. The site remains under state care, holding its shape against time and forgetting.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOTTE & possible BAILEY. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; MED/L.MED. Recorded protection: State Care. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
