What is recorded here
Drumatober holds a circular earthen ringfort thirty-five metres across on a low ridge, its bank still defined at the southwest while a fourteen-metre gap opens toward the east. Cattle may have moved through that break for centuries, treating the ancient boundary as an ordinary farm lane rather than a forgotten fortress. The fort still stands in pastureland, waiting for someone to walk its broken circle and imagine the hands that shaped it.
On a low ridge in pastureland. Circular rath (diam. c. 35m), in fair condition, defined by a bank
best preserved at SW. There is a wide break (Wth 14m) in the bank at E.
