Within a circular enclosure, an irregular raised platform measuring roughly fifteen metres north to south and nineteen metres east to west lifts the ground about a metre above the surrounding fields. Its edges are defined partly by dense overgrowth and partly by field fences, giving it the half-domesticated, half-absorbed quality common to ancient sites that farming has worked around rather than over.

The circular enclosure itself is the kind of feature often associated with early medieval activity in Ireland, a broadly defined category that includes burial grounds, ringforts, and ecclesiastical sites. What makes Dromore particularly curious is the presence of a souterrain in the interior. A souterrain is an underground stone-lined passage or chamber, typically constructed during the early medieval period and associated with nearby settlement; they were used variously for storage, refuge, or as a means of concealed movement. Finding one inside a raised platform that was designated a burial ground, yet shows no evidence of actual interments, raises more questions than the available record answers. Whether the enclosure served a funerary purpose at some earlier point, or whether the burial ground classification reflects local tradition rather than excavated evidence, is not clear from what survives above ground.
