What is recorded here
Question and uncertainty are the whole story. A mound in County Antrim may have been a motte, a defensive hill, a burial place or merely a pile of earth moved by people long gone. The medial period and uncertain label leave a gap large enough for imagination, but no invented name, date or event should be used to fill it. What is known is that a mound exists, that it is recorded, and that its purpose has not been fixed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - MOTTE?. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; UNCERTAIN. 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.
