Westropp (1914-16, 224-5) describes a promontory fort at Ballykilmurry as a platform 'connected to the mainland by a long natural "dyke" a few feet wide'. He suggests it may have an internal hut-site (WA039-023002-). No point along the coast from Ballymacart Cove on the W to Rinnanillaun fort (WA039-014----) to the E corresponds with this description, and it is possible that this text is an intrustion from some other work in preparation.

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.
