Mound is a medieval motte located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site represents a form of fortification characteristic of the Norman and early medieval period in Ireland, when such earthwork castles were constructed to establish military control and territorial authority. The motte itself consists of a raised earthen mound, a typical defensive feature of twelfth and thirteenth century settlement patterns in Ulster. As a monument of this type and period, it contributes to the archaeological record of medieval occupation and the Norman presence in the north of Ireland.
