Summary

Description
English: Holywood Motte. Relatively small Norman motte some 4.5m high and 11m across located off Brook Street in Holywood.

King John visited Ireland in 1210 and it is believed that he stayed in the Holywood area on the 29th July 1210 - this motte would probably have been in existence then but it is not certain that he stayed here (on the 30th July he travelled to the nearby Norman stronghold of Dundonald so he almost certainly visited the motte there - see 791373).

In the 19th Century the motte was transformed into an ornamental garden. A spiral path to the top was cut around the motte and the trees, beech and sycamore, were planted atop.
