Sample excavation was conducted in July 2012 at a prehistoric hillfort in Glanbane, Co. Kerry. This involved trenching the inner and outer enclosing elements to record details of form and construction. The inner enclosure was surrounded by a rock-cut ditch with a stone-faced internal bank. A similar arrangement was discovered around the outer enclosure. Samples were recovered for radiocarbon dating. There are no artefacts or other occupation-related finds from the excavation.
