Mountsandel Fort is a promontory fort, commanding an imposing position above the Lower Bann in the town of Coleraine, County Londonderry. The site has been occupied throughout almost every phase of settlement in Ulster - in the Mesolithic and Late Neolithic; as a promontory fort in the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age; as a motte in the 13th century; and as fort, possibly an artillery emplacement, during the 1641 Rebellion. The monument is in the care of the Department for Communities. The monument is within the council area of Causeway Coast and Glens.
