What is recorded here

No Irish sea coast is complete without a fort on its edge, and County Cork is no exception. Promontory fort stands where land stops arguing with water, its stones still holding the shape of people who watched ships, storms or invaders arrive. It is not a display or a story told elsewhere; it is a warning written in stone, waiting for eyes sharp enough to read it.
