What is recorded here
Shannock held a seventeenth-century settlement before the land forgot its own boundary. Rooms, hearths and road marks may still lie beneath the soil, waiting for a shovel or a storm to reveal them. The name resists pinpointing, but the act of living there is certain.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as C17th SETTLEMENT SITE: SHANNOCK (unlocated). Recorded period: C17TH; POST-MED. 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.
