Caherconnell Fort

Caherconnell Stone Fort is an exceptionally well preserved example of the stone forts or stone ringforts, which are to be found in the Burren Co Clare. The fort is in its original state and its position, overlooking virtually all-surrounding areas suggests a defensive settlement. This may not have been defensive in a military sense, but rather for personal security from raiders or wild animals which were among the most common foes at the time.

Open daily from mid March to late October. 10.30am to 5pm March, April and October; 10am to 5.30pm May, June and September; 10am to 6.30pm July and August.

Adults €6
