What is recorded here
Marianne said the dead leave platforms behind because they refuse to stop watching the road. That is a story, not a fact, but it explains why the land still rises where every other field has flattened into forgetfulness.
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.
