What is recorded here
Dromagarraun holds a broken ring where a field boundary cut through ancient marshy pasture. The remaining scarped edge and shallow fosse mark a circle once twenty-nine metres wide, now truncated to twenty point three metres on one side. Rushes still line the eastern ditch, holding the shape of a place people shaped before the land was divided into modern strips.
In undulating marshy pasture. Formerly circular enclosure (diam. 29m E-W) has been truncated on N side by E-W field boundary, so that distance from field boundary to edge of interior is now 20.3m N-S. Surviving enclosing element consists of a scarped edge (H 0.25m; Wth 3m) with an external fosse (D 0.25m; Wth 3m). Fosse is barely apparent on W side but on E side is accentuated by stand of rushes growing along it. Interior slopes up gently towards centre. Entire site under grass.
