What is recorded here
Mortons has no visible monument. It is a hidden platform in Derry soil, recorded for early Christian times but never described in public detail. What is missing is not a small gap. It is the whole shape of the place. End
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.
