What is recorded here
Mortons stands in Doaghs Upper Middle, County Derry, a lone vertical witness to centuries of rain and foottraffic. Whether it marked a boundary, a burial or a gathering place remains uncertain, but its survival suggests people valued the spot enough to leave it untouched. The stone does not need explanation to command attention; it simply refuses to disappear.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; 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.
