Mound is a medieval motte located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The site represents a common form of Norman or Anglo-Norman fortification typical of the 12th and 13th centuries, when such earthwork castles were established across Ireland and Britain as instruments of territorial control and settlement. The monument consists of the characteristic raised earthwork mound that would have supported a wooden or stone defensive structure, with associated bailey or courtyard features. Such mottes served as administrative and military centres for the Norman colonisation of Ulster during the medieval period.
