Dromore Crater is a crater in the Lunae Palus quadrangle of Mars, located at 20.1 N and 49.7 W. It is 14.8 km in diameter and was named after a town in Northern Ireland.[1]

Dromore is famous for showing clear evidence that it was affected by floods of water which broke through dams, carved deep valleys, and eroded grooves into bedrock.
