The Ring of Kerry (Irish: Mórchuaird Chiarraí) is a 179-km-long circular tourist route in County Kerry, south-western Ireland. Clockwise from Killarney it follows the N71 to Kenmare, then the N70 around the Iveragh Peninsula to Killorglin – passing through Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen, and Glenbeigh – before returning to Killarney via the N72.

Cahergall Stone Fort, Cahersiveen, Kerry, Ireland
Cahergall Ring Fort was built around 600AD, based just outside the town of Cahersiveen, Co. Kerry, Ireland. It is well worth a visit. The current structure has undergone some reconstruction and while the purist may say it is too “clean and pure” it is an impressive site. With walls approximately 6 meters high and some 3 meters thick this dry stone wall fort is one of the best examples of an early medieval stone fort to be found on the ring of Kerry.

Staigue Stone Fort - County Kerry - Ireland
Staigue Fort - Ring of Kerry - Ireland
Staigue 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.

Staigue Stone Fort
A was able to take a look at Staigue Stone Fort in Co. Kerry. While unable to film much there, I did take enough pictures that I could narrate over. Sorry for the bad audio quality, currently stuck in a bad apartment and still using the laptop microphone.
