What is recorded here

Shanvey is a post-medieval settlement in County Derry where human life leaves marks the earth still holds. The official record points to the centre of that site, not a house or a wall, leaving the shape of daily life to imagine. People may have worked, argued, loved and forgotten there before the land took back their names.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Shanvey. Recorded period: 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.
