What is recorded here
Drumharsna South holds a faded thirty-four-metre ring where a field wall now cuts through ancient earth. The eastern bank has vanished beneath pasture, yet darker grass still traces its lost curve like a shadow refusing to leave. Cattle walk across the remains without knowing they tread a forgotten chamber, while the western stone bank watches the valley unchanged.
On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 34m) defined by a bank of earth and stone from S through W to N. A field wall cuts the monument at N and S and no visible surface trace of it survives to E of it. However, its outline is indicated by a band of darker vegetation. (McCaffrey 1952, 273, no. 39)
