What is recorded here
No visible mound remains in Blagh, County Derry, though medieval people may have stood on wood and soil above a digging so deep it still marks the land. The absence makes the shape easier to imagine: a small tower, a rope, a ladder, a shadow falling across the moat at dusk. What is missing is not nothing; it is the part the earth kept private.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOTTE?: THE MOAT. Recorded period: 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.
