What is recorded here
Mortars and bullets still mark the platform, but the chamber holds no gunpowder, only the patience of stones that outlast every empire which broke upon them.
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.
