Doonmore is a promontory fort and National Monument located in County Kerry, Ireland.

Doonmore lies on a headland reaching into Dingle Bay, 4 km (2.5 mi) southeast of Dingle town.

Traditionally viewed as being built by the Iron Age Veneti, promontory forts are now associated with a later date, the early Middle Ages. (5th–8th centuries AD).[citation needed]

A headland of 2.93 ha (7.2 acres), cut off from the mainland by an artificial ditch, with complex multiple vallations and stone ramparts.
