What is recorded here
Dromin lost its ancient moat when the Ardee railway cut through the land, erasing a marker older than memory. The trains still run where the ditch once held water, carrying people past a hole the earth no longer remembers.
Tradition of a 'moat' here, but it was apparently removed during the construction of the Ardee - Dromin junction railway line (IFC Schools' Mss 669, 46).
