A rath, the Irish term for a ringfort, a type of enclosed farmstead typically built during the early medieval period, once occupied this pasture. Today, nothing of it can be seen from the surface. The land has been levelled, the earthworks absorbed into the field, and the only physical clue is the memory of a landowner who recalls a heap of stones somewhere in the eastern portion of the field.

The site was recorded as a circular enclosure on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842, which means it was still legible to surveyors at that point, even if already diminished. Ringforts were once among the most common monument types in Ireland, with tens of thousands scattered across the countryside, serving as the enclosed homesteads of farming families from roughly the fifth to the twelfth centuries. They were built of earthen banks, sometimes reinforced with stone, and enclosed a domestic space where families lived and kept their livestock. This one in Dromore, over the generations since that 1842 survey, has been entirely consumed by agricultural activity. What survives is cartographic rather than physical, a circle inked onto a nineteenth-century map, and the faint oral trace of stones that once marked its eastern edge.
