What is recorded here

Dromin is a lost circular enclosure, about 30 metres across, that once stood in pasture to the SSW of a farmhouse. It had a single bank and fosse before being levelled in the early 1900s. The 1846 OS 6-inch map still shows its ghost, cut off-centre to the north by an east-west field boundary.
