What is recorded here

Kildromin holds a fifty-five-metre hollow bowl on the north-west slope of Kilteely Hill, where a tall bank rings a central depression and a narrow causeway crosses the surrounding ditch. Its north entrance faces a small stone-lined well that still gives clear water, suggesting the enclosure served people who needed both shelter and a reliable drink. The shape excludes casual entry yet invites intentional movement, preserving a place where human life may have clustered around water, watchfulness and the odd geometry of a made landscape.

Enclosure described by O'Kelly (1944, 17-8) as following: 'A circular platform with a bank at its edge. From the bank the interior surface slopes to the middle from all sides, giving a hollow bowl shape. The entrance is 10' [3m] wide and is on the N. side. A causeway leads across the fosse. The height of the bank over the fosse bottom is 8' [2.4m] and overall diameter 180' [55m]. Immediately outside the entrance, and a little to the E. of it, is a stone lined well. Locally this is believed to be ancient. It still supplies water and though in perfect condition, is no longer in use. The diameter at the top is 3' [0.9m]. The fort and well are situated on the N.W. slope of Kilteely Hill'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 09 August 2019
