Passing on then past the beautiful Ventry beach, we make our way to the site known as ‘Dun Beag’. The Gaelic words, which mean ‘small fort’, refer to a defensive structure dating from approximately 500 BC.
As we will see the fort is spectacularly situated on the edge of the sheer cliffs which made it easier to defend as it could only be attacked from the landward side. The site features a series of defensive banks and a high banked stonewall through which we enter the fort.
With its amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean, National Geographic once tipped the Dingle Peninsula to be 'The most beautiful place on earth'.
