Mound is a medieval motte situated in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The monument represents a form of defensive earthwork characteristic of the Norman period in Ireland, typically comprising a raised artificial mound that would have supported a timber or stone fortification at its summit. Such mottes were constructed from the late twelfth century onwards as part of the Anglo-Norman settlement and militarisation of Ireland, serving as local administrative and defensive centres. The precise dating and extent of occupation at this particular site would require archaeological investigation to establish more detailed chronological phases and the nature of structures that once crowned the mound.
