Dunbeg
The article mentions the Dunbeg Promontory Fort in County Kerry, Ireland. However, the word Dunbeg ist linked to an article about the Scottish Town Dunbeg, which seems to be in no way related to Dunbeg in Ireland. I have removed the link, since I could not find an article about Dunbeg in Ireland. 84.190.172.54 (talk) 18:54, 30 August 2009 (UTC) (Mambres@Kamelopedia)

Dunbeg a "defensive structure"
I wonder if this definition has been taken from the popular terming of dunbeg as a "fort". However, without any proof of this being a defensive structure this is simply a stone enclosure or "cashel". I don't recall any archaeological evidence proving the use of dunbeg as a fort.

Naturally this page has been added to military history categories. Is anyone aware of the military history of pre-Christian civilization in the Dingle peninsula?

Atlas of Hillforts
The Atlas of Hillforts is a new, publicly accessible site created to map and describe all hillforts in the British Isles. As well as creating its own site, the Atlas has shared some data about each site with Wikidata. On the project page we are listing tasks related to the data import, where help is welcomed. Since they list promontory forts as a type of hillfort, the Atlas lists all promontory forts in the British Isles; 1242 of them. They can be visualised with a Wikidata query at wikidata:User:MartinPoulter/queries/hillforts. Maybe that map could be screencapped for the article? MartinPoulter (talk) 15:20, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It is called the "Atlas of Hillforts in Britain and Ireland". Not the British isles. . The Banner talk 18:47, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Agreed the Atlas of Hillforts is not its full name, but I'm not aware of a similar atlas with which it could be confused, so I think it's okay in context for me to use the short name. However, my statement that it covers the British Isles is correct. MartinPoulter (talk) 09:49, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
