Ferriter Promontory and Coastline

Disgrifiad

Ferriter’s Castle (SMR KE042-034002-) and Promontory Fort (SMR KE042-034001-) are located on the Ballyferriter Headland, Dingle Peninsula, Co Kerry. Doon Point / Dún an Fheirtéaraigh is a long, narrow promontory extending slightly over 500 m SW from the mainland. This prehistoric fort is one of 95 coastal promontory forts in County Kerry, with a Mesolithic-Neolithic site (SMR KE042-035—-) at the nearby Ferriter’s Cove.

There are a number of hut sites and archaeological features visible within the boundaries of the fort, many heavily impacted by erosion. Reuse of the fort occurred by the 16th Century when the Anglo-Norman Feriter family constructed a castle.

The site was surveyed during the CHERISH excavation which included a trenches across the ditches of the older promontory fort and a hut site near the southwest tip of the promontory.

The site was recorded in May 2021 using SfM photogrammetric survey using an eBee plus and S.O.D.A. camera (ground sampling distance of 2.5 cm.). Successive surveys have identified area of active erosion and accretion on the monument in addition to geophysical surveys which have revealed remains of sub surface structures.
