What is recorded here

Gortycavan holds a fort mound in County Derry, its age uncertain but its shape clear enough to mark on a map. The land may have swallowed names and events, yet the mound still stands as a visible claim that people lived there, shaped the soil and left behind a place worth remembering.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND: FORT. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: State Care. 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.
