What is recorded here

Drumard mound in County Antrim is a medieval earthwork, possibly a motte, still standing where power once climbed above the land. Its shape suggests a tower, a watch seat or a boundary marker, though time has softened the purpose into silence. The stones and soil remember more than they reveal, keeping their own counsel against the sky.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND (possibly MOTTE): DRUMARD. 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.
Medieval motte-and-bailey castle remains; significance relates to medieval military and settlement patterns in the region.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
