From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kir-haraseth
      built fortress, a city and fortress of Moab, the modern Kerak, a
      small town on the brow of a steep hill about 6 miles from
      Rabbath-Moab and 10 miles from the Dead Sea; called also
      Kir-haresh, Kir-hareseth, Kir-heres (Isa. 16:7, 11; Jer. 48:31,
      36). After the death of Ahab, Mesha, king of Moab (see MOABITE
      {STONE}), threw off allegiance to the king of Israel,
      and fought successfully for the independence of his kingdom.
      After this Jehoram, king of Israel, in seeking to regain his
      supremacy over Moab, entered into an alliance with Jehoshaphat,
      king of Judah, and with the king of Edom. The three kings led
      their armies against Mesha, who was driven back to seek refuge
      in Kir-haraseth. The Moabites were driven to despair. Mesha then
      took his eldest son, who would have reigned in his stead, and
      offered him as a burnt-offering on the wall of the fortress in
      the sight of the allied armies. "There was great indignation
      against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to
      their own land." The invaders evacuated the land of Moab, and
      Mesha achieved the independence of his country (2 Kings
      3:20-27).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Kirharaseth, Kirharesh, city of the sun; wall of burnt brick
