What is recorded here

Desertmartin stands as a post-medieval settlement in Stranagard, County Derry, marked only by a single point at the centre of its buried remains. The land holds no visible building, yet it preserved enough shape for surveyors to identify where people once lived, worked and departed. That quiet accuracy suggests the settlement resisted forgetting even after every wall and roof disappeared.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Desertmartin. Recorded period: POST-MED. 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.
