This large Anglo-Norman motte appears to stand on the site of a significant early medieval ringfort. T
Kilfinane Motte is undoubtedly a very interesting and complex monument. The large, steep-sided mound at the centre of the site appears to be an Anglo-Norman motte, however it stands on a series of banks and ditches that may represent an earlier monument. The site has long been believed by archaeologists such as Sean P. O’ Riordain, to have been an important place, perhaps used in ceremonial or ritual events such as inauguration.
