What is recorded here
Rathnaseer held a fifty-metre earthen ring on a gentle slope before ploughs erased it from the living landscape. The soil swallowed the boundary, denying the fort even a shadow or a name in the grass. What remains is a vacancy, a hollow where human hands once shaped the earth into a circle.
In undulating pasture, on gentle SE-facing slope below brow of low rise. Monument, depicted as roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. No trace of monument evident when inspected.
