Staigue Stone Fort

One of the largest and finest ring forts in Ireland, built in the early Iron Age. 15 minutes' drive west.

Staigue is a near-perfect drystone ring fort, around 2,500 years old, set in a quiet upland bowl above the sea. The walls rise to nearly 6 metres and you can climb the internal steps. Free to visit; bring boots after rain. Honesty box at the gate for the landowner.
