Cahergal Stone fort

Cahergal Stone fort is located close to the town of Cahersiveen in County Kerry. After having parked up our car in the designated carpark, we walked the short distance towards this National Monument while admiring the stunning landscape surrounding the ring fort.

From the path, we looked across the Ferta River Estuary and admired the ruins of Ballycarbery Castle while the many bees zoomed around taking nectar from the heather.

Cahergal Ring Fort is a particularly fine and impressive example of a stone fort with massive dry stone walls. There are flights of steps leading to different terraces in the inner face and upper parts of the wall that were reconstructed.

The reconstructed lintelled entrance is the only entrance into the fort and must have provided security for the fort's inhabitants in times of siege. Inside the fort are the remains of a circular stone house where once, somebody of importance lived. Where it is very difficult to date these stone forts, Cahergal was probably built between 500 and 800AD. 

At walking distance from Cahergal Ring Fort is another impressive ring fort called Leacanabuaile (
