What is recorded here

Promontory fort occupies the northwest edge of a Kerry island where spectacular sea-cliffs plunge from south through west to north and east. Two ancient banks mark its southeast side, while a hidden enclosure waits inside the cliff-bound circle. The ocean did most of the building, yet people shaped what remained. They stood where the land ends and the Atlantic begins, watching ships or waiting for storms.

This promontory fort occupies the irregularly shaped northwest portion of the island. It is defined from S through W to N to E by spectacularly plunging sea-cliffs. It is defined on its SE side by two banks (KE061-003002- and KE061-003003-) and also contains enclosure KE061-00101-. Two banks were noted along the northwest (KE061-003004-) and northeast (KE061-003002-) sides of the island. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Tracy Collins Date of upload: 26 March 2007
