Ballyedward, Othewer is a medieval moated site located in the parish of Larne, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The monument comprises a substantial defensive earthwork in the form of a moat enclosing an interior rectangular structure, typical of late medieval fortified enclosures in the region. Dating to the medieval or late medieval period, the site represents a form of domestic or manorial fortification common to Ulster during the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries. Such moated sites served both defensive and status-marking functions for landholding families, and their presence in the Larne area reflects patterns of medieval settlement and lordship in East Antrim.
