We just saw the little sign pointing out a ring fort and followed the road to get to Cahergall. We trekked up the hill and instantly fell in love with the place - gorgeous views of the Ring of Kerry and you can see Ballycarbery Castle a little way down the road. The fort itself is just so much fun... More

This is another beautiful fort. Not as complete as the Leacanabuaile Fort but still good. It is next to the Leacanabuaile Fort and you will have to walk but it is worth it because along the way are wild blackberry's. Very tasty. DO NOT MISS!

If you are doing the Ring of Kerry, make sure you stop off at Cahersiveen, visit Ballycarberry Castle and the 2 ancient ring forts beside it. They are a little walk up a small, gentle hill and they are free access. i'm sure adults and kids alike will love scarmbling over and up the walls and this fort is the... More

Cahergall and Leacanabuale ring forts are located side by side. The one closest to you is completely reconstructed, and therefore is as perfect an example of a ring fort as you will find in the area (and there are many!)-- if not the most authentic. While Stague Fort, also on the Ring of Kerry, is in a much more picturesque... More

The Cahergall Fort in Cahersiveen is one of tru beauty. In most guides you will find descriptions to "Staigue Fort" in Castlecove. True, there is a lot of information on this site, but it is also the most touristic. Cahergall fort just did that little bit extra for me. It's pretty, well conserved, not too crowded and set in a...

Purely by accident, we happened on this Fort - it was too late to finish the Ring of Kerry by the time we reached Cahersiveen, so we had a look on the map for interesting sites in the area. This was marked on an OSI map, just West of Cahersiveen, via a side-road off Main Street and past the famous... More
