Circle Forts


The Ring of Kerry is a truly three dimensional driving experience, with steep hills and deep valleys all thrown into the mix.

One steep climb took us over a pass and onto a road that ran around the full length of a valley. At the bottom of it was what I thought to be a Ring Fort. It wasn’t on any of the maps though so K wasn’t convinced. As we drove around the valley it seemed to remain equidistant to our right. We kept our eyes peeled for the road down to it but never saw a turning.

As we exited the valley over another pass the road opened out onto the coast and there were beautiful views of harbours and marinas of Caherdaniel.

I looked back to the mystery building and thought I could certainly discern a tourist information board and a couple of cars parked up. But what exactly the structure is or how you get to it remain a mystery.
