What is recorded here

Promontory fort is a promontory fort (coastal) in Cruabhaile Íochtarach (bar. Na Déise Laistigh Den Drom), County Waterford, Ireland. Markus Casey identified this possible monument in an aerial survey as a broad south-facing headland with signs of two wide collapsed stone walls and an intervening fosse running partly across its neck. A bank runs along the cliff edge of this ridge-backed headland, which holds gorse and outcropping rock above grassy cliffs that slope to the rocky shore.

Identified from an aerial survey by Markus Casey who described this possible monument as a broad S-facing headland which shows signs of two possible wide collapsed stone walls and intervening fosse running partly across its neck. A bank runs along the cliff edge and the headland is ridge-backed with gorse and outcropping rock. The area is one of mixed pasture with unimproved land along the coast. Grassy 50’ high cliffs slope down to the rocky shore. (Casey 2001) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 November 2021
