What is recorded here
Mortons stands on the far bank of the Lough Foyle, facing Scotland across open water. The broad stone still rises beside the river road, unchanged since people first walked this coast. It is not a hidden ruin or a broken shrine. It is a tall marker set where the land meets the sea road, visible from a distance and impossible to miss.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE (unlocated). 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.
