What is recorded here

Promontory fort is a promontory fort (coastal) in Ballydowane West, County Waterford, Ireland. Casey identified this possible monument in an aerial survey as the middle of three small south-facing triangular headlands that show slight evidence of a straight earthen bank. The coastal setting combines fertile pasture, sheer cliffs about 150 feet high and sheltered coves on either side of the headland.
