What is recorded here
RAISED RATH stands in Greenshields Upper, County Antrim. No exact date, owner or event is recorded for the mound. A raised rath suggests people shaped local earth into a boundary or home during the Christian era. The shape still marks that choice even when the names and tools are gone.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RAISED RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
