What is recorded here
PLATFORM RATH in Maghadone, County Derry, Ireland, is a recorded archaeological site. It may have been a raised home, a watch point or a boundary marker, but the platform itself still breaks the grass like a forgotten chair. People may have climbed it, pointed from it or left it alone while the land changed around it. What is certain is that the earth was shaped deliberately, and the shape still answers the hand that made it.
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.
