Dunbeg, Co. Kerry | Early Christian Promontory Fort | Damaged in Storms |Photos from 1982

The recent storms that hit the Irish coastline have exposed a number of archaeological sites,including a possible Neolithic settlement at Omey Island, Co. Galway, an ancient forestuncovered at Ballinesker Beach, Co. Wexford, finds of stone axes from Connemara, Co.Galway, and the wreck of a19th century ship at Rossbeigh beach,Co. Kerry. The opposite sideof this unexpected boon has been destruction at the promontory fort at Dunbeg, Co. Kerry,when a portion of its cliff unexpectedly fell into the sea. Areport in The Irish Times,quoting aspokesperson for theDepartment of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht,states that:

There has been very serious storm damage and a large part of the western limits of the sitehas fallen in to the sea. The immediate priority is to ensure public safety and the site is now

fully closed off from the upper roadway.

The site is being inspected by OPW and National Monuments Service personnel to assess thesituation on the ground. However, the scale of the recent damage, coupled with the nature andlocation of the site, would suggest that may be very little that can usefully be done.

The site is composed of four stone and earth banks, which serve to cut off and defend a smallseaward promontory from the land. A further stone-built rampart is the innermost defence. Itwas originally built as a straight wall, but became curved as the result of later remodelling andreconstruction. Even in its original form, this wall is of two periods. The inner face of is theolder and was erected as a single entity. It was later added to and strengthened on its landwardface. It is part of this large stone rampart that has fallen into the sea. At the innermost portionof the site is a stone house, orclochn,with a sub-circular external plan, but square interior.It is linked to the covered entrance in the stone rampart by a flagged path, and was provided

with a curving, lintelled drain to keep water away from the interior. Asouterrainleads fromthe interior of the site towards the landward defences.

Detailed plan of clochn at Dunbeg Promontory fort (Barry 1981)

It has long been recognised that this site was under threat from this form of coastal erosion,though to lose such a large part of the site at one go is still shocking. From June to September1977 the site was partially excavated by Terry Barry. The areas chosen for investigationincluded cutting sections through the landward earthen defences, and almost the entirety ofthe main stone rampart and the clochn (Barry 1981). The earliest feature excavated on the

site was a shallow ditch overlain by the stone rampart, demonstrating that there had beensome form of settlement here in the period from 797-539 cal BC (253035 BP, UB-2216). Thereminder of the radiocarbon dates suggest that the main thrust of settlement was in the periodfrom the 8th to the mid-11th century AD (anyone interested in the recovered finds and thedating evidence from the site should see theAppendix).

My original intention at this point was to publish a number of photographs of the Dunbeg site,taken by the late William Dunlop in 1982. However, I was hardly into writing the firstparagraph when saw that I had been comprehensively beaten to the punch by Colm Moriarty,who shared a number of his photographs of the site, taken in the summer of 2013, on hisirisharchaeology.ie blog:here.Colms photos are beautiful, clear, and give a great impressionof the site as it so recently was. My first inclination was to scrap my post for fear of being seen

as just jumping on the bandwagon. However, after discussing it with Colm, I'm going to pressahead on the twin understandings that 'great minds think alike' and'imitation is the sincerestform of flattery'. In fairness, I do think that these posts are mutually complimentary andpresent the site at two different points in its recent past and can be fairly viewed together.

Billy was many things [here|here|here], but a consistently good photographer wasnt reallyone of them. On the other hand, he did take an awful lot of photographs of interesting sitesand important excavations. Even if only for their taken back then value the collection is fullof interesting gems and have well worth a look. As a means of sharing this material with thewider world, I started a project to scan Billys original prints and make them available on theinternet [Facebook|Website]. Unfortunately, work and family commitments (read: laziness)have meant that this project has stalled, but I may just restart it at some time in the future. In

the meantime, I give you some of Billys photographsof the site from over three decades ago:

Overview of site, looking out to sea

Other images from the same excursion, including Glenfahan Bee Hive Huts; MilltownStanding Stone; Dunmore Head; Ogham Stone at Dunmore Head; Promontory Fort atDunmore Head; Cross in Killiney Graveyard; Gallarus Oratory are available to view:here.

A brief appendix, dealing with the excavated finds from the site and the radiocarbonchronology is available:here.

Note:UB-2216: the determination of 253035BP is given by Raftery (1994, 230) and Waddell(2000, 277). However, Kerr (et al.)(2010, 365)give it as 253535BP.

I would also direct the reader to the excellent Virtual Reality tour of Dunbeg by Voices fromthe Dawn:here.
