What is recorded here
That is a possible tree-ring: a grass-covered circle about fourteen metres across on a south-facing slope in Drumlease, marked by a slight bank, an overgrown scarp, and faint traces of a western fosse. It sits within view of the fortified house and Dromahaire Lodge, as if still belonging to the life of that valley. People may have gathered there, excluded others, or simply marked a boundary the land could remember.
Situated on a S-facing slope within view of the fortified house (LE014-008---) and the 19th-century Dromahaire Lodge, which are c. 660m to the NW. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 13.8m N-S; 14.4m E-W) defined by a slight overgrown bank (Wth 2-2.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.5-0.7m) NNW-ESE and by an overgrown scarp (H 0.3m) elsewhere, with slight traces of an external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.1m) at W. It is a possible tree-ring.
