The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a gentle W-facing slope within the village of Drumsna. The rath (LE031-085001-) contains the ruins of a Presbyterian Meeting House according to the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a roofless structure (int. dims 15.6m NW-SE; 6.2m NE-SW) with walls almost complete (Wth 0.75m; H 3-5m) and a single doorway in the NW gable. Within the structure are headstones of the Whitelaw and Parke families dating from 1819, and the African explorer, Surgeon General Thomas Heazle Parke (1857-93), is also buried here.
