Dunbeg

From Ventry the R559 follows the rocky south coast of the Dingle Peninsula. On the left, directly above the sea (path to the site dangerous), is the fine promontory fort of Dunbeg, with four earthen ramparts and a stone wall. Within the fort are the remains of a house, square in plan within its circular outside wall. An underground passage leads from the interior of the fort to the outer defenses.
