What is recorded here

Promontory forts are coastal defences that use steep cliffs and narrow necks of land to reduce the need for heavy ramparts. Most date to the Iron Age, though some may have begun in the Bronze Age. They appear in Ireland, the Orkney Islands, the Isle of Man and Cornwall. Dunbeg in County Kerry is one of the better known Irish examples.

Possible promontory fort described in 2003 as follows; ‘Several lines of boggy earth seen from the air running across the headland correspond to a deep cleft crossing a narrow isthmus. The site has not yet been inspected at ground level. The area is one of mountainous highlands with a shallow covering of boggy land and outcropping rock' (Casey 2003, 32, no. I).

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