Uphill battle to protect 2,500-year-old stone fort

Dún Beag Fort — one of the most notable archaeological features of the Dingle Peninsula, in Co Kerry — has sustained very serious storm damage, the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht confirmed yesterday.
A large part of the western limits of the site has fallen into the sea and the department said the immediate priority is to ensure public safety. The site has been fully closed off from the upper roadway.
