What is recorded here
No fort remains in Dromerk, only a hidden field and the memory of a circular enclosure. That absence is the shape of the place: a fort erased until it becomes a rumour.
In pasture, E of Clashnagallagh Wood. Hachured as circular enclosure on OS 6-inch map (1842). No visible surface trace; surrounding field fences removed.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
