What is recorded here
Shane's Castle Park in County Antrim holds a possible rath, its identity still uncertain despite LiDAR revealing the buried shape. The land may have supported a fortress, a farmstead, or a forgotten gathering place, but no human name or date has emerged to claim it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as LiDAR site- Possible rath. Recorded period: 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.
