What is recorded here
Drombrick holds a hidden ring, perhaps twenty-five metres across, now buried beneath pasture and memory. The 1846 survey marked a track leading northwest to another fort, suggesting a lived landscape rather than a random heap of soil. A limekiln sits beside the vanished bank, proving the ground still gives up heat and shape. What is missing is not nothing; it is a room waiting to be remembered.
In pasture, on a low hill. This possible rath is not visible at ground level. It is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) with a trackway extending from the NW arc towards a rath (KE057-082----) c. 300m to the NW. A limekiln (KE057-124----) stands just outside the line of the bank of the rath at W.
