What is recorded here

Promontory fort in County Clare, Ireland. A narrow headland (Wth 10m; L 25m) is cut off on the landward side by a curving earthen bank and fosse. The bank (Wth 3.6m; H 0.8m above the interior) is round-topped. The fosse is clearest at E (Wth 2.2m; D 0.25m). A cattle gap crosses the defences at the W cliff edge. The interior is featureless and rocks jutting out from it suggest that it was once longer that it is now.
