Recorded monuments
- CO136-100 Promontory fort - coastal
Description
Rectangular area projecting W into Dunworley Bay. Westropp (1914-16, 96) recorded sea had cut 'a deep cove' into N part of interior leaving narrow spur projecting on this side. He noted deep fosse and high bank crossing neck and continuing along the projecting spur. Small section of bank (H 3.15m) now remains on N side but is collapsing into sea; fosse (D 3.4m), causewayed to S; counterscarp bank (H 1m). Gravel quarry on S side just inside fosse. Interior eroding along edges. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
- CO136-111 Souterrain
Description
In a coastal promontory fort (CO136-100---). Two earth-cut openings, one with a rounded top and the other pointed, were noted in the eroded face of the seaward side of the promontory fort following a storm in the Spring of 1991 (pers. comm. Domnall Fleming). Photographs supplied confirm the possibility that these openings are part of a souterrain. The openings were inaccessible. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

Description
On seaward side of narrow neck of Illaunbeg promontory, rectangular tower (5.75m E-W; 4.9m N-S), with narrow gaps (2m to E; 4m to W) to cliff-edge on either side. Opposite linteled doorways at E ends of N and S walls; single double-splayed window ope in S wall.

Unlit attic under stone roof consisting of two pointed arches separated from each other and from side walls by series of overlapping slabs- only one slad now left between easternmost arch and E wall. Similar roofs are present at Dunlough (CO146-001001-) and Dunanore (CO153-015002-) castles. The tower does not survive above this level. Traces of curtain wall (Wth 0.95m) run W from S end of W wall of tower for c. 4m to cliff-edge. Castle of the Barry Roe clan (Westropp 1914, 115).

- CO145-003 Promontory fort - coastal
Description
Narrow neck of promontory defended by late medieval defences (CO145-002---). According to Westropp (1914, 115), on landward side of these defences, there was a 'straight fosse 40 feet long, 8 feet wide and 6 feet deep at the ends'; this is now a barely perceptible dip in ground- eroded at edges. Casey (2003, 70) noted a possible house site (CO145-003001-) in the interior of the fort. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
