What is recorded here

Gortnahey in Gortnahey More remains a post-medieval settlement marker in County Derry, preserving the identity of a place long forgotten by modern roads. The name repeats itself like a breath caught in a closed room, suggesting humans lived there long enough to give the land its own echo. What is missing is not a defect but an invitation to imagine the kitchens, arguments and quiet routines that shaped the soil before surveyors reduced them to a single point.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Gortnahey. 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.
