Located on a rocky promontory, which projects to W from a small island, separated from the NW end of Iniskea North by a narrow tidal sea channel.
A promontory named ‘Doon’ noted by Westropp (1914, 322-323) was included by Casey (1999, 204) as a possible promontory fort. Westropp did visit not the island, but recorded that he understood that the fort was similar to examples in counties Clare and Kerry and consisted of ‘a rock platform rising from tidal reefs and walled’ (Westropp ibid.). Aerial reconnaissance by Casey (ibid.) did not confirm the presence of a promontory fort. However, a drone survey carried out on the island in August 2016 recorded the remnants of an enclosing stone rampart, which is masked in parts by storm debris (per. comm. Michael Gibbons, February 2018)
