Kilbarron Castle Coastal Promontory Fort

Promontory fort, coastal

What is recorded here

Kilbarron Castle is a coastal promontory fort in County Donegal, Ireland. The facts do not say when it was built, who lived there or why the sea cliff matters. A promontory fort uses a sharp coastal edge as one defence and builds the remaining fences around the land. That much is visible in the name and kind. The rest is absent from the supplied facts.
