What is recorded here
Mortars and cameras may have shaken the soil, but the platform still stands as a separate disc above the valley. Men may have built it to be seen from a distance or to keep rain off their knees. The stones remember the shape of human hands even when the names have vanished.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PLATFORM RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
