What is recorded here

Drom South holds an oval earth-cut chamber forty centimetres wider than a person can span, with annexes touching its south and west sides. Construction shafts beside the entrance still display four courses of masonry, proving the passage was built rather than dug by water. A low bank ten metres west may mark a forgotten ringfort, suggesting the chamber served a settlement old enough to vanish from memory.
