What is recorded here

Situated c. 13km NE from Loop Head in an area of undulating poor quality grassland and bog. A small triangular area (c. 30m NE-SW x 23m NW-SE) is all grass cover that remains on a detached island (c. 200m x 80m). Traces of an earthen bank extending along the cliff-edge in this grassy area can be seen on aerial photographs and may be the remains of a promontory fort. The island is inaccessible.
