What is recorded here

Mortons Port is a small harbour on the Antrim coast where fishing crews still land silver fish and tour boats push past the harbour mouth. The cliff path above the water gives a wide view across the bay, while the old harbour area keeps a working smell of net ropes, diesel and salt.

Internal diam. c. 30m. An earthen platform roughly 3m in height enclosed by a bank up to 2m in height with evidence for an external fosse. A stream which divides into two branches encircles the site. The site is located in good pasture land on top of a NNW-SSE ridge. There is rough, bog-covered grazing land to the N and W of the ridge. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.'
