What is recorded here

Promontory fort – coastal, Doon, Co. Kerry, stands on a narrow headland where ancient earthworks still cut across the land before the sea takes over the rest. Its banks and ditches mark a defended place from a time before written memory, while the cove below keeps the usual busy life of waves, weather and passing boats. The site belongs to the long coastal tradition of Kerry, where people used the edge of the land as much as the land itself.

Possible promontory fort described in 2002 as follows; ‘North of a small cove the adjacent headland also shows slight signs of having been defended by two low earthen banks and ditches with a central causeway. Most of the interior of this fort has disappeared' (Casey 2002, 36).
