What is recorded here
Shaneoguestown holds a raised rath, an earthwork so old it predates Christian time. The mound still stands in County Antrim, marked as a scheduled site rather than buried or forgotten. People may have lived inside its ridge, watched the sky or kept what they valued from rain and theft. The land remembers that much even when every name has washed away.
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.
