Drumanagh

Drumanagh extends across forty acres of peninsula, protected by three parallel earth banks stretching 350 meters along its neck and steep cliffs on three sides.

Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered Roman artifacts, including pottery and metalware, suggesting potential trade connections between Ireland and Roman Britain during the Iron Age.

The fort likely functioned as an important trading post where local inhabitants exchanged goods with merchants from across the Irish Sea during ancient times.

Access to the site requires permission from Fingal County Council, and visitors must stay on designated paths to protect the archaeological remains from further damage.

The discovery of over forty copper and brass ingots at Drumanagh indicates the presence of advanced metalworking activities during the Iron Age period.
