What is recorded here

Promontory fort stands on a Cork coast cliff, a stone ring built where land ends and sea begins. People likely watched ships, weather and invaders from that edge, turning the horizon into a warning system. The ocean still throws itself at the base, erasing footpaths and redrawing the boundary each storm.
