The ring fort, also called "Caher", located between Upper and Lower Lake, has a diameter of around 20 meters. It is not possible to determine exactly when it was built. In its immediate vicinity there are several stone crosses that probably marked the stations of a pilgrimage.

This is a cute little ring fort. Lots of pictures here of the ruins which should be another highlight.

Very poorly received. The highlight is probably the lake and the here from feasible walks.
