What is recorded here

No fairy ever touched Dromadeesirt. The facts are human: a round stone-and-earth house, a dug ditch, a second wall outside it, and a second rath two hundred metres east. People built that repeated defence because the place mattered. The fairies entered later, as they do everywhere the real story has thinned. They are not the point. They are what remains when the point has worn smooth.

In pasture, on a gentle W-facing slope. A circular area (c. 36m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.9m) which has internal stone-facing along the SE arc. A possible external fosse (Wth 3.3m; D 0.65m) is evident NE-SE. A drystone wall (T 1m; int. H 1.05m; ext. H 0.4m), which incorporates large boulders, skirts the fosse externally NE-SE. The bank is denuded in places. Some rocks and boulders from field clearance have been dumped along the bank W-NE, externally. The level interior is covered with trees and undergrowth. Another rath (KE058-039----) lies c. 200m to the E. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011
