What is recorded here

Promontory fort stands on a coastal edge in County Cork, Ireland. Its stones and sea position suggest people used the height and horizon to watch, defend or gather long before written records. The exact residents and dates have faded, but the shape still points to human life, danger and choice in a harsh beautiful place.
