What is recorded here
Mortons and Antrim men built rath banks there, not Shanes Castle walls. A rath is a rath: a defensible place, not a chamber castle. The chamber castle belongs elsewhere in the same county story.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as RATH. Recorded period: E.CHRIST.. 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.
