What is recorded here

No visible fort exists at Gurteenroe today. The land holds no ridge, no cavity, no broken stone and no distinct edge. It is an ordinary open field. The fort is absent from the place itself.

In level pasture, on a N-facing slope. This possible rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m). It is indicated on the 1897 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m), open at NE where the terminals of the bank extend a short distance E to join a NNW-SSE field boundary. The remains consist of a poorly defined area (c. 50m E-W) defined by the slight remains of an arc of bank E-S, by a field boundary SW-W and by a natural scarp along the N arc. The Farranfore-Molahiffe railway, indicated on the 1897 OS 6-inch map abutting the SW arc of this possible rath, has since been removed.
