What is recorded here

Indicated, Dromore is a subrectangular walled bawn beside Dromore tower house in County Clare. Its north wall joins the tower, the south wall still stands eighty centimetres high, and the east side has disappeared beneath vegetation. A limestone platform west of the tower rises barely above the lake, its straight edge suggesting a lost pier. The bawn may have served the tower as a working yard, a keeping place, or a boundary for life lived beside the water.

There is a subrectangular walled bawn (31m N-S; c. 13m E-W) to the E of Dromore tower house (CL025-078----). The N wall (L 13.5m; max. H 1.2m at NE) is bonded to the wall of the tower house and there is a gap for the modern N-S path. The S bawn wall is 0.8m in height and 1m thick. The E side is completely overgrown. The W wall stops short of the SE angle of the tower house and does not bond with it visibly above ground level. To W of the tower house there is a rectangular platform of limestone (Wth 8m) which is just above the level of the lake and has a fairly straight W edge as if it deliberately formed a pier.
