Mound - motte? is a medieval motte located in Ballymoney, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site represents a form of fortification characteristic of the Norman period in Ireland, typically consisting of an artificial or partially artificial earthen mound that would have supported a timber or stone structure. The uncertainty reflected in the designation suggests the mound's exact functional classification or dating remains subject to archaeological interpretation. Such mottes were commonly constructed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries as defensive strongholds by Norman settlers and their successors throughout Ulster and the wider Irish landscape.
