What is recorded here

Rathcronan is a lost fort, not a mysterious one. The survey marked it as a circular enclosure before ploughs and pasture erased most of its shape. The field boundary still bends where the fort stood, preserving its ghost in the land.

On a SW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been levelled. Apart from a slight curve in the field boundary from NNE-E-SE, which presumably mirrors its circuit, it is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F.
