'Extremely important' discoveries in Kerry at risk from climate change

Material spanning almost 4,000 years was unearthed during excavations at Doon Point in West Kerry in 2021

Ferriter’s Castle was the ancestral seat of the Ferriters and once home to Piaras Feiritéar (1600-1653), the celebrated poet, harpist, and Gaelic lord.

Archaeologists have made “very significant” discoveries on the Dingle peninsula that reveal more about Ireland’s ancient coastal networks.

But experts believe those “extremely important” discoveries, at Doon Point near Ballyferriter in Co Kerry — and many others around the coasts of Ireland and Wales — are at risk of being lost.
