Dungall is a medieval motte located in Ballymena, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of an earthen mound typical of twelfth-century Norman defensive architecture in the Ulster region. Such mottes served as focal points for early feudal lordship and settlement in the decades following the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland, functioning as both military strongholds and symbols of territorial control. The site's preservation as an upstanding earthwork provides evidence of the spread of Norman settlement patterns into the north of Ireland during the high medieval period.
