What is recorded here
Whiteside's Fort rises in Langarve as a mound rather than a named fortress, shifting the story from heroic conquest to forgotten labour. Build a visible fort anywhere and it becomes a fortress in the minds of everyone who sees it. The chamber becomes a castle, the kitchen a hall, the garden a realm. Names and boundaries appear because the shape forces them into being.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND: WHITESIDE'S FORT. Recorded period: 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.
