old fort of historical significance

it is worth taking a look if traffic is light. I can't imagine dropping by at the fort if traffic was heavy, the detour was about 10 min on a single carriageway

A somewhat hidden gem

While the Staigue Fort is off the Ring of Kerry by just a bit it is well worth the visit to see what an impressive 2400 year old bronze age fort. Unlike forts such as Leacanebuaile, Loher and Cahergall, Staigue has been for the most...More

How is this even still standing

They dont make things like they used to, thats for sure. This is a pretty cool spot, watch your head going in and out, the door way is small but its pretty unoccupied (only 1 other couple was there when we were there). The stone...More

Ancient Ireland nestled in the mountains

This fort is an amazing stop in the Ring of Kerry, perfect for a picnic or a flask of tea. Amazing antiquity in the heart of Souh Kerry.

Stone ring fort that you can climb on and enjoy views from

Amazing how old this stone fort is. You can climb up onto the walls and enjoy the views down the valley. The walls are pretty tall, but they are solid. It is at a remote site and the drive up is narrow and tricky, but...More

Ancient and remote place

It's quite hard to rate this attraction. Because many folk may be disapointed at the scale of the fort - it's not a very big place. It is also a remote and unattended attraction. It sits forlornly at the hub of a broad mountain valley....More

Really neat!

This was the first stop on our Ring of Kerry drive - it's off the beaten track, and well worth it. Stone forts are so unique and impressive - this one is well preserved and quite large.

Excellent circle fort, well off the track

This would never be allowed access to in the US for safety reasons, and was great fun. The stones are not cemented together, there are no handholds, no guardrails, just a wonderful fort to climb and cause moms to worry about children falling while they...More

This place is fantastic. Out in the middle of nowhere. When you arrive you need to pay entrance to cross the threshold! €1 roughly. It's big, vast, and wide depth walls yo walk around. No cafe nearby that's open all year, but we had a...More
