Caherconnell Stone Fort, Co. Clare, Ireland
Caherconnell (Irish: Cathair Chonaill, meaning Conall's stone ringfort) is a medieval, exceptionally well-preserved stone ringfort in The Burren of County Clare, Ireland. It lies about 1 km south of the Poulnabrone dolmen.According to Radiocarbon dating conducted in connection with an archaeological dig in the summer of 2007, the ringfort mostly dates from the early 10th to mid-12th century. Occupation deposits indicate the fort was used from around the early 10th century to the early 13th century. The later structure A with a rectangular outline was likely built between the early 15th and mid-17th century.
Findings indicate that the inhabitants not only consumed relatively high-status items but were also manufacturing them at the site (pin-making mould). There seems to have been precious metal work going on and there are signs of ironworking (slag, possible anvil position). The archaeological report also notes that: The imposing morphology of the site, its walls and diameter, sets it apart from the vast majority of cashels in the Burren. The relatively long use - well into modern times - is attributed to the fact that the area was not directly affected by Anglo-Norman influences but remained culturally Gaelic for a long time.

When visiting the west of Ireland it helps to have a sense of humour where the weather is concerned. This clip was filmed inside a cashel (or stone ring-fort) on a wet and windy day - in June. Actually it was a great trip and visiting the bronze age cairn at Poulawack in a howling gale was hilarious.

This fort is actually 1200 years old (apologies), and inhabited by about 40 high ranking chieftains and families. It's an amazing place, only 15 minutes walk from the car park. The nearest town is Carron,Co.Clare,Ireland. We were there by 4am to get the lovely dawn light, what a great way to spend an early morning.Drone pilot/aerial video: Matthew Kelly

Staigue Stone Fort - County Kerry - Ireland
Staigue Fort - Ring of Kerry - IrelandStaigue or Staig (Irish: an Stéig or Caiseal Stéig) is a partly ruined stone ringfort three miles west of Sneem, on the Iveragh peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The fort is thought to have been built during the late Iron Age, probably somewhere between 300 and 400 AD, as a defensive stronghold for a local lord or king.
It is at the head of a valley opening south to the sea, surrounded by a ditch over 8m wide and at present 1.8m deep. The fort's walls are up to 5.5 m (18 ft) high in places, 4 m (13 ft) thick at the bottom and 27.4 m (90 ft) in diameter. The inside is reached through a 1.8m passage roofed with double lintels. Staigue represents a considerable feat in engineering and building. It was built without mortar, using undressed stones. Vertical joints visible in the wall show that gaps were left during the building of the wall to allow access and were filled in later. There is also a tapered, lintelled doorway. Inside is an elaborate network of stairways leading to terraces and corbelled cells in the wall reached by passages.
There is evidence that copper was excavated in the surrounding area and it appears to be a place of worship, an observatory and a place of defence.
