This motte earthworks is found in the old town area of Holywood Co Down. If you wish to walk in round/explore it, plan your visit for a Sunday afternoon between 12 and 4 pm otherwise otherwise it will be locked up. Discover Ireland tells us - Holywood Motte is an Anglo-Norman castle mound, which probably had a ditch round its base and a timber palisade round the summit. The spiral path and planted trees are the result of 19th - century landscaping. King John stayed at Holywood in 1210 and a castle is mentioned in 1234 but it is not known whether either reference applies to this motte. A fine 13th-century church (the ruins now known as Holywood Friary) in the town was contemporary with the castle. Holywood Motte is a roughly oval earthwork measuring 30m north-east to south-west and 25m north-west to south-east. The height of the earthwork varies from 3.5m on the south-east side to 5m towards the north-west side, – corresponding to the natural topography. The mound summit is flat and measures.12m in diameter. A Victorian spiral path has been cut into the side of the mound. A set of modern concrete steps has also been added to the south side. I reckon that this mound or motte was probably constructed by the same people who built Belvoir and Shandon Park mottes. I think it is smaller than them but it looks so very much like the other two.
