What is recorded here
Yes. MOUND - MOTTE? in County Antrim, Ireland is a medieval possibility rather than a finished fact, which means the land still withholds its own name. A castle may have stood there, dropped its stones, and become a hill, while people walked past the hill for centuries believing they understood it. Uncertainty is not a flaw in the story; it is the shape of the story.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - MOTTE?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; MEDIEVAL. 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.
