MOUND

MOUND, MOTTE?

What is recorded here

MOUND is a medieval earthwork in County Antrim, Ireland, still uncertain whether it is a natural mound or a made motte. Its shape resists a final answer, keeping the boundary between human intention and soil movement alive. A castle may have risen there, or a hill may have simply accumulated dirt and time. The uncertainty is the feature: a place that refuses to stop being questioned.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - MOTTE?. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; UNCERTAIN. 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.
