What is recorded here

Promontory fort in County Cork, Ireland. Coastal defensive site on a headland. Stone walls and ditches still mark the edge where land meets sea. People likely watched ships, stored goods and resisted invasion from that high point. The ocean remains the true guardian of the fort.
