Mound-rectangular platform is an uncertain mound located in Derry, Northern Ireland, recorded in the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record under designation HED NI NISMR MonID 12539. The monument comprises both a mound and rectangular platform elements, features which suggest possible prehistoric or early medieval origins, though the precise dating and function of the site remain undetermined.
