What is recorded here

Drumharsna North holds a vanished cashel, its subcircular wall and two rectangular house sites erased by field clearance on a gentle rise. McCaffrey measured the ghost in 1952, marking a broad northeast entrance and curious internal divisions, yet pasture now covers the very stones he sketched. The land keeps its shape in memory rather than marble, inviting wonder about the people who lived inside that temporary circle.

On a gentle rise in pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 270-71, no. 25b) as a 'Stone fort (?)' consisting of a 'semi-circular wall, field-fences and two structures' enclosed by a cashel wall which was subcircular in plan (c. 37m by c. 32m). There was an 'entrance [Wth c. 4.6m] on northeast side', though on his plan this is marked at NW. The 'two structures' (c. 12m by 5m and c. 8m by 5m), rectangular in plan, are shown in S half of the interior, separated by a curving wall. They may be the remains of house sites. A possible annexe is indicated on the plan at NW. Due to field clearance, no visible surface trace of the cashel or its associated features survives.
