Promontory Fort, Ullinish.
Some 5/8 mile west-south-west of Ullinish Lodge is an elevated promontory with precipitous rocky sides rising about 40 feet above the sea-shore and about 20 feet above the land in the rear. The peninsula has been defended by a stone wall, of which very scanty fragments are left, built across the landward end of the peninsula, the ends of the wall giving on to the cliff on either side. It has been about 6 feet thick, and while at the central and highest part it crosses the plateau about 20 feet behind the edge of a rocky bluff, at the lower parts, which are more accessible, it is built on the edge of an escarpment.
