What is recorded here

Promontory fort is a promontory fort (coastal) in Ardoginna, County Waterford, Ireland. A 2001 aerial survey identified the broad low-lying west-facing headland as a possible monument with a wide fosse curving around much of its neck. The interior rises gently eastward in a way that suggests a possible levelled bank, while the entire area is planted with beat and bordered by steep cliffs above sea rocks.

Identified from an aerial survey by Markus Casey, who described this possible monument as a broad low-lying W-facing headland which shows evidence of a wide fosse curving around much of the broad neck of the headland. The level of the interior rises gently towards the E, suggesting a possible levelled bank. The entire interior has been planted with beat and is surrounded by steep 25’ high cliffs to sea rocks below. The area is one of flat fertile pasture and tillage.
