What is recorded here

Clearing the fields in Dromerk may have built the fort, since two small mounds still lie inside the earthen ring. The completed circle stands forty-eight metres across on a gentle NNE-facing slope, with a two-metre-high bank, shallow outer ditch and an eastern causeway. People may have lived there before the fairies took the fort into local legend.

In pasture, on break in gentle NNE-facing slope. Circular slightly raised area (48m N-S; 48m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 2.4m); external fosse (D 0.8m). Break in bank to E (Wth 6m), with causeway. Two small grass-covered mounds in centre of interior may be field clearance cairns.
