What is recorded here
Mortons and other local people may have circled the fort before flying cameras drew red lines around it. That is an understandable human story, but the facts supplied do not identify the claimant, the year or the event.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH? or TREE RING?: SHEWIS FORT. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
