The way of all flesh - and buildings. The Dúnbeg fort, precariously located on a sheer cliff jutting south into Dingle Bay, has long been identified as vulnerable and a full archaeological assessment was carried out in the late 1970s. Excavation results show its earliest phase may date to the Bronze Age, around 800 BC, but it was in use throughout the Celtic period. The round fort with its dramatic views is a popular visitor attraction at the centre of a family restaurant business on the Slea Head Drive.
