Donegore Motte is a pre-Anglo-Norman fort situated on Donegore Hill. From excavations carried out at the site there is strong evidence to suggest that this was a burial mound built around 3000 BC - the "Motte" was believed to have been a Passage Grave. Around 1798, it was an important meeting place for the United Irishmen getting ready for the ‘Battle of Antrim’. The picturesque St. John's Church is located close by and has lately been restored. The hill top provides stunning views of the six Ulster counties of Northern Ireland.
