What is recorded here
Dromlohan holds a buried field on the eastern edge of a hill break, remembered through a mass grave appearing near 1965. The earth gave up more bodies than any local family could explain, then took back the shape of the event. People may have been killed, moved or forgotten there; the hill keeps that part of the story without a name.
In pasture, on E edge of break in E-facing hill slope. No visible surface trace of mass burial discovered here about 1965 of which no details are known (Wallace 1972, 60).
