What is recorded here
Drominacreen holds a twenty-nine-metre earthen ring on a slight south-facing slope, marked by a five-metre fosse and a broad causeway at the southeast. Cattle still graze the buried entrance, treating the ancient boundary as ordinary ground. The fort may have served as a seasonal shelter or a forgotten home, but its shape resists easy explanation. It remains a quiet chamber where human life and fairy tale both refuse to leave the field.
In pasture, on slight S-facing slope. Circular area (29m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.4m) with an external fosse (D 0.3m; Wth 5m). Entrance via causeway (Wth 9m) across fosse at SSE. Entire site under pasture.
