What is recorded here
Bonny Fort in Magheramore, County Derry, is a hidden enclosure where the land still remembers the shape of a fort. No date or owner is certain, but the name suggests people once called the place beautiful instead of fearful. That much is true. The earth kept the shape, and the name kept the praise.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE: BONNY FORT. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
