What is recorded here

No visible wall remains at Drom North, only a shallow circular ridge twenty-one metres across and a faint outer ditch on the southwest. That much is clear. The fairy fort name suggests people once saw the shape as belonging to another kind of living being, and that judgement still carries more life than a dry measurement.

In pasture, on break in W-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 21m) defined by low rise (max. H 0.4m); hint of fosse outside rise to SW. Interior saucer-shaped. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
