    Hiking

    The Cahercommaun Ring Fort is a ring-shaped stone wall originally built by the Celts in the 9th century. It was once an important place for the community as it provided shelter and security and served as a meeting place for gatherings and celebrations. Today the fort is a major archaeological site that reveals much about Irish history and culture.

    Almost 16,500 tons of stone were needed to build the Cahercommaun Ring Fort in the Bronze or Iron Ages. Research has shown that there were several buildings inside the ring when it was in use. Forts were built to protect the people and to have defenses.
