Dun Beag Promontory Fort - Dingle Peninsula










Exploring yet another early A.D. ring fort in a farmers sheep field. The sea has taken out part of the edge of Dun Beag but it is for the most part all still standing. You might be wondering how did so much history and these ring forts survive throughout the centuries and the explanation is simply  because of superstitious beliefs that they were fairy forts.  Thus over the years they were left alone and just became part of the landscape.
