What is recorded here

According to Went (1946, 148), in 1769 Thomas, fourth Viscount Kenmare mentioned in his estate books that on his property at Donemark, a short distance north of Bantry town, there were 'large palaces or receptacles for carrying on a fishery on it which the tenant's father carried on while the pilchard remained on the coast.' The location of this fish palace at Dunnamark is unknown. This would appear to date to the post-1700 AD period. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC. Date of upload: 20 January 2010

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
