Outrage Over Destruction Of Celtic Fort


Recommended Posts

Heritage experts today condemned the destruction of part of a 3,000-year-old Celtic fort in Co Kerry.

 

The 700 metres of earthen works that surrounded the ancient Dun Mor Fort on the Dingle Peninsula were levelled at the weekend by an excavating machine. An entrance and a standing stone with an ogham (Celtic writing) inscription were also removed. Heritage Ireland spokeswoman Isobel Smyth said it was a dreadful act.
