What is recorded here
No visible mound remains at the marked point, only a hidden medieval shadow beneath ordinary ground. The question mark in its own name admits the doubt: a castle hill may have stood, vanished, or never existed at all. That uncertainty is the shape of the place, a mound reduced to suspicion.
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.
