What is recorded here

On a long south-facing headland in County Kerry, a collapsed six-metre wall circle and a faint neck depression mark a possible fort where the sea has already claimed half the land. Cattle still graze the fertile slope above the drowned edge, trampling the last trace of whoever stood there watching the water rise.

Possible promontory fort described in 2003 as follows; ‘A long sloping south facing headland has the remains of a hut site at the southern tip of the promontory. This consists of a low grassed over collapsed wall foundation describing an area about 6m in diameter. A shallow depression across the neck of the headland is the only indication of an enclosure. The area is one of fertile pasture with traces of earlier cultivation visible in uncleared and undrained pockets of land. The site is overlooked by higher ground to the north. The sloping sea ricks to the south suggest the headland was once larger than the present remains imply' (Casey 2003, 30, no. G).
